Default slight problem after installing system...

No lights on my dashboard, the 2hi isn't lit up, but my turn signals and flasher works, odometer/gear selector shine, and on my new stereo not all the buttons are illuminated.

I checked the guage fuse, its fine. Question, I was able to remove the front dash panel without disconnecting the headlight switch, but I can't remember if I disconnected the switch for the dimmer, or if one even exists. Behind the headlight switch panel, are there two plugs, or only one? I think that I forget to re-connect something possibly, does it sound like my dimmer switch is disconnected, if there is indeed a plug for it?

thx

Chris

Yep, I'm an idiot. When I pulled the dash off, the dimmer switch unplugged by itself, so I didn't even know it was laying behind unplugged. Thanks hillbilly! I just plugged it in and was good to go!
