All the gauge/hvac/shifter lighting is powered by the light switch.
Power is ultimately recieved from the light switch for the marker lamps via 'tail' fuse (20amp). From there (output power to the maker lamps), it is split within the light switch and also powers the gauge lights which goes from the switch->gages fuse(5A)->gauge/hvac/shifter lights.
If the fuses are good then there is a problem with the switch or the circuit leading from it.
