The instrument panel lights where out so I checked the fuse and it was OK.
Then I put in another fuse for the hell of it and it worked for a day then
no panel lights and the new fuse is still good.  Then my neighbor informs me
I have no tail lights.  So I have not panel and no tail lights.  How do I
fix this problem?

Replace the tailght fuse.... the panel lights are double fused... first
through the tail light fuse (usually a 15 amp) and then through the panel
illumination fuse (usually a 5 amp). Important not to overfuse a circuit....
this can cause extreme wiring damage. If the fuse continues to blow, you'll
have to repair the circuit.... as I indicated, using a fuse bigger than
recommended can get very expensive, very fast.

It was the light switch.
