2002 Sunfire AC Panel lights died out, plus steering question

[Jinsoku]

Hi! New here and am hoping for any assistance or steering in the right direction (no pun intended).

Last night I noticed when I switch the lights on, that the A/C panel in my 2002 Sunfire was not lit up. Radio above it is fine, dashboard is fine as well. My gear shit (automatic) lights also are out, (these have been for a while, but never bothered me).

I immediately went to check for a fuse but I cannot recognize the lettering for that area so I abandoned that idea. Also figuring that if there was a fuse for it, every single light in the panels would probably be out. Just a guess on that one.

What should I be looking for to remedy this? Wiring behind the panel? Am I totally wrong and it's a fuse?

My second question is the fact that my steering wheel pulls to the left once I reach 35 mph, and pulls stronger at higher speeds. As soon as I let go I'm immediately changing lanes without my choosing. Tires are fine, breaks are new as of March 2011, new hub on front driver side. When breaks were done in March, mechanics said alignment was fine, (and the problem wasn't as huge back then so I shrugged it off). Any idea here would be great.

Thanks to anyone who reads and anyone who replies!

If your not sure what fuse check the owners manual here's a link could also be bulbs burnt out

Steering problem, check tire pressure when cold.
The mechanic cannt tell you alignment is fine unless he puts it on machine, all he did is look for uneven tire wear. You could also have a worn suspension component, tire rod, bushings, etc.
