    So I pulled a junk wire from one of my accessories I don't have anymore. Everything works radio light and all my gear and warning lights work. But the main important lights(speedo,rpm,gas and engine temp) are not workingtgey work just not the lights for them to light up. Everything thing is running fine. Idk where to start.

    Check the Tail Light Fuse Labeled as Tail 20 ampere fuse. Or at least check to see if the tail lights are working.


    See the print. It goes from the 50 amp link through the Tail Relay Contact then through the 10 amp Tail Fuse then the Junction Connector ( J4A and J5B ) to the combination Meter Illumination.

    I would check fuses first. Is anything else not working?

    Under the hood:

    Fuse 10 - TRN-HAZ, Turn signal lights, emergency flashers, meter and gauge
    Fuse 15 - HEAD (HI LH), Left-hand headlight (high beam), meter and gauge
    Fuse 21 - ECU-B, Wireless remote control system, air conditioning....(other stuff) meter and gauge, clock...
    Fuse 24 - STA, probabably not this one but also meter and gauge

    If I had to guess, you wouldn't notice Fuse 15 gone bad but the others probably so.

    Inside the cab:

    Fuse 2 - GAUGE, meter and gauge, emergency flashers
    Fuse 3 - TAIL, Tail lights, license plate lights blah blah, more stuff, instrument panel light control, illuminations. You'd notice this one.
    Fuse 7 - IG1 NO.2, bunch of stuff, instrument panel light control

    It might help to know what exactly you ripped out, so people can get an idea on what it was connected to. May or may not be relevant but probably is. I'm assuming you didn't pull the battery wire to do this.

    I feel so dumb right now. So I checked all my fuses and pulled half my dash off. Then pulled most of my accessory wires out from where I pulled the bad wire through. The culprit ended up being the dimmer from when I whipped the dust off my dash. So I did all that for nothing. At least I know what to check first if it happens again. Thanks guys for the advice. I don't understand why it didn't dim any other lights
