Default No marker lights or dash lights

Hey guys, I have been fighting a issue with my 2001 dodge and the marker lights and dash lights aren't working. I have brake lights, turn signals, and headlights and I have checked all the fuses and even replaced the head light switch. Also have been having issues with my multi function switch acting up. Do they go hand in hand? Thanks guys. I have been uber stumped

Yes they are"connected",the dash lights are powered off running light portion of the switch. I'm not home now I may have a diagram of the circuit. Did you check if you had power in the fuse? You can probe the ends of the fuses with a test light,you can see the little tips as you look at the fuse while it s plugged in.I need to see the diagram to see how it works.See if you can get a diagram for michell they work very good.I'll look to see if I can help you more.

The multi function switch is tied into the fog lights as well. Hopefully this helps.

If you are still having this issue, it could be that the fuse holder itself is messed up, mine actually was too loose and the fuse wouldn't make contact.

Ok guys I got that little issues all figured out last night and tearing the entire dash and everything apart. But it was a wire coming out of the main power distribution box that had chaffed threw and corroded the wire. It was by pure chance i happened to glance down with a flash light and saw something funny. So i spliced in a new piece of wire and soldered and heat shrank it. And now everything seems to be working good
