Removed headlight **** now no interior lights or sound?

Today I remvoved my cluster to fix the tach, and after I put it all back together, the lights don't work. The exterior lights come on as they should, but the interior lights won't come on. THe overhead dome light comes on when i turn the **** as usual though. Also, there is no sound if I leave the lights on. What did I mess up?

Just guessing here because i am no expert. If 2 separate systems fail at once I would suspect you pulled (or didn't reconnect) a ground loose.

I hope this helped.

I may have done that, are there any fuses that I could have blown?

I don't know. I have removed my dash and reinstalled it twice. I never had a problem like this.

"Int lights" fuse in the fuse panel. Just check all the fuses with your 12v test light to be sure. Do you think you may have broken the rheostat on your HL switch?

I thought I posted it here, but it didn't show up. I found out yesterday that I blew a fuse. I wouldn't have thought that the dash lights and marker lights are on a seperate circuit. The interior dash lights are connected to the driving lights, not the headlights.
