    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    Reversing the cables would have been bad.. baaaad. You may have popped a fuse when you were putting the cables on or removing them. I'd pull them one by and one check for a blown one.

    Or the easy one... dimmer switch as above.

    I believe the fuse boxes actually have a diagram inside of them for which fuse goes where and how large of a fuse it should be? But I believe the dash is also piggy-backed on something else and not labelled clearly "Dash."

    doh

    If I remember correctly, brake lights and dash lights share a common fuse. Your brake lights should still illuminate when you press the pedal but will be off all other times.

    Nope, it's the taillight fuse that also feeds the dash lights. Also, the 10 amp IG1 No. 2 fuse feeds the dimmer. That's what tells the lights to turn off when you turn off the key.
