I bet your tail lights don't work, either.
There are these little things under the dash called fuses....

Did you have something new wired into your dakota? My dad wired in a cd player and it messed up the control panel lights and a few other things. The next day i rewired it correctly and it fixed every thing.

How did you check the fuses? Visually?
They can look good while being bad.

Tony, try running a wire from a fuse next to the #13 and see if the lights will work then. If so try taking the fuse box out and look to see if the wiring to the box is broken. If it was mine I would run a hot wire to the #13 fuse (if thats the problem) and still use the fuse to protect the rest of the wiring.
Good Luck,

Headlight switches often go bad in these trucks. The dimmer function on mine failed several years ago, so dash lights are either full brightness or nothing.
