    I hooked up my cali raised light bar with a ch4x4 switch and placed it next to my cargo light. I tried to tie into the dash lights /dimmer with the LT green wire off the cargo lights to the 4th wire on the switch. I f-ed something up because now my dash lights don't work.
    I did a quick check of the fuse for the dimmer but that looks ok. Anyone have this issue.

    Still sounds like a blown fuse somewhere.

    Yeah that's what I'm thinking I'm just not sure what else it's tied to. I'll have to check the fuse box again.
    It's odd because it only the backlights on the buttons. The buttons themselves work fine.
