     Did you check your printed circuit board to see if the connection for the dash lights got cut or broke somehow ?  Check to see if you have power at the dash lights and work your way back to fuse block.

#2: There is no such thing as impossible, it just takes longer.

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!

Thanks for the help, I will try tomorrow. They did not work before, the kid before me did a GREAT job of taking things apart and cutting wires.
I don't think he missed a screw or a wire........... ???
