Dash/Instrument lights

[Tori]

What lights are supposed to come on with the ignition when first turning the key. (before engine is running)

I assume they all should, but only a couple of mine do. Working on replacing bulbs, but even new bulbs don't cure it. Need to know if i need to keep digging further or if only some of them light with the key.

Also, i know our cars are archaic, but isn't there a light for the headlight switch ? - so you can find the damn thing in the dark ? How about one for the rear defrost ?

I know the check engine light, oil, seat belt does.....
No light in headlight switch.
Yes light in defrost, but not serviceable




All from memory

The volts should come on too. All others water temp, brake, cruise, security, turn sigs, Do not do a key on bulb test.
Washer fluid, power injection, low fuel, and car is leveling do not even have bulbs....

I think my brake light comes on. I don't have an oil light in my AVC dash. My volts light doesn't come on which is weird because I have power in the wire to the socket. Even tried another socket and still no light. Bulbs test good. Check engine light comes on.
