I guess I messed up the instrument cluster lighting circuit.
The lights on the instrument cluster now don't work.

Do those dash lights get their gnd thru the Fog light switch?
I disconnected the wires from the fog light switch.

Instrument cluster lamps are ground thru connector 216, pin 10, black wire with orange trace. Goes to ground 201. (lower right side of dash, basically, right above the passengers right knee.

Thank you - very good to know.
I found the 5amp Ilum fuse blown which fixed it.
I guess when I unplugged the connectors from the fog switch, I let the wrong two touch.

GO there and search your truck and you will find allot, some come with wiring kits and switches also. Here is just one of many examples you can find on ebay. These are 65 bucks and free shipping, and if your out of CA no sales tax most likely too

Here is my 97 Ram 1500 with old lights:

That post was from 10 years ago. You would be better off starting your own thread instead of resurrecting decades old threads.
