    Though my guages work fine, I suddenly have no dash lights. When I jump the red main power wire at the headlight switch to the green dash feed wire the dash lights come on fine. Headlights work fine and I have replaced the switch to no avail. Advice would be welcome.

    Not to sound like a smart axe but did you turn your head-light switch? Also make sure the harness is fully seated.

    Yes... I turned the switch, which should dim/brighten the dash lights.
