Thanks! Fixed!
Just wanted to get back and thank everyone about the parking light
demon. The issue turned out to be melted plastic on the red wire
spade on the "30" terminal that goes to terminal D3 on the fusebox.
It was not making a proper connection to the switch blade terminal. I
had a spare light switch connector and I re-worked all the wires into
it. Long process but had the right pin tool! And Steve Buchholz did
note "given how the wiring fans out from the switch and the numerous
ground points, a complete failure of all the running lights has to be
caused by that red wire. In fact, if the red wire is faulty for some
reason it will affect all the instrument cluster/gauge lights
controlled by the dimmer ... so your loss of the dash illumination
confirms this hypothesis.
I might try a few of the other suggestions of to remove the wire from
the fusebox connector, and get power feed from a spare 1/4" spade
terminal on the back of the fusebox instead.
Lights are much brighter, I might add!
Now, go figure, my turn signals are not working. Flasher is good.
Hazards work on drivers side only. Could be a ground?
