The dash light issue may be internal in the instrument cluster so no doubt that is a separate issue. There is definitley something touching metal causing the running lights not to work. The side markers are on the same fuse with the tail lights in the ipdm-er. The side markers no doubt probably have blown bulbs but I would definitley check all the harness to see if something has rubbed through somewhere.

 

alright ill look into thank you

 

No problem, let me know if I can be of assistance.

 

im so dumb for not checking that i was changing my fuse for my rear lights cus they wont stay on when im driving at night. I finished then noticed my dash didnt want to turn on. I did the switch at work and its night so i was shitting bricks. But lmaoo thanks for reminding me you saved me stress & time.
