767 Panel
Can anyone tell me what the little +'s mean that are on the different parts of the instrument panel? Seems to be one on most of the different pieces of the instrument panel.

Behind the cross (+) is the approximate position of the electrical contact that provides lighting power to drive the panel lightplate.
If one particular lightplate isn't working generally start troubleshooting with a little 'massage' of this cross (+) to ensure a good contact.

Below are two pictures showing the front and back of such a lighting panel (this one from a Twin Otter, not a 767) - hopefully these photos will make it easier for you to visualize the concept explained by Spanner Turner in his post above.
