Mistakes of mistakes were made.

So yesterday i had some time to fiddle with the car. Tried the dimmer light, nothing. Pulled the switch and tapped into the wire adam suggested, still nothing.

Grew frustrated and decided to start over. Pulled all the gauges and wiring out, only leaving the 2 ground wires there to pick up again during reinstall.

I pulled the car back into the garage last night, and i realized something. I do not have any "backlight" on the gauges. The cluster itself and the screen work, but there is no working light. Nor do the lights in the mirror come on when i open the door(dome light does)

If i was tapped into that circuit, and it wasnt even working in the first place, that could be the answer to my problems.
