so i left my switch on and ran battery dead...when i got back to truck i noticed it was a clicking under dash somewhere so i turned key off jumped it off and not i have no dash lights....checked all the fuses....good....the high beam light works so does the brake and charge light and turn signals light but no lights on speedometer or gauges.............help me we.here should i start

 

did you accidently bump the dimmer?

 

Idk didnt think about that....i goin kick myself in @ss if I did and didnt think bout it

 

only reason I ask is that i chased down a similar issue and that is what I found...bumped it..
