Default No brake lights, No blinkers, No wipers, cluster lights stuck on, running light on

No brake lights, No blinkers, No wipers, cluster lights stuck on, running light stuck on in front and rear. I cant find anything thats not grounded. I unhooked the light switch still same issues. The wipers dont work, blinkers dont work, brake lights dont work, Taillights are stuck on, The amber/blinker lights in the front are stuck on, all stock headlights and taillights, i think i have the cluster tied into the radio power so thats why the cluster stays on which i am fine with.

Did all of this happen suddenly or is this a truck you ran across that you're trying to repair? Sounds like you may have multiple issues. If you haven't already, download the factory service manual for your year truck and check out the electrical diagrams via this link - https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...e-manuals.html

so if i pull my radio fuse out. my blinkers work. The running lights turn off in the front so the headlights all work properly with the radio fuse out. Still no brake lights tho. I must have the cluster and everything tied into the radio some how but any idea on the brake lights not coming on when hitting the pedal and the rear running lights staying on besides when the blinker is on.

1995 dodge ram 1500 4wd 5 speed 75 model 360. My problem changed entirely. So only issues im having now is rear running lights stay on and the brake lights dont work when i hit the pedal. When the blinkers are on the bulb stays lit but brightens up every blink. Also wipers dont work but thats an entire different issue.

you were right. So now everything works except. No rear running lights when the headlights are on. and windshield wipers do absolutely nothing
