The fuse is TRL PRK 10a. Don't forget to check the wiring under the truck.

I eliminated the quick disconnect plug thinking it might have corroded and caused fault connections and tied the grounds and power wires directly. No luck. I then tried grounding the wires directly to the frame and it worked but also keep in mind that you need to make sure the dash sensor is covered to replicate darkness. Also, I cut and capped the two ground wires going to the fuel pump. I'm not sure if those two grounds ran further to provide grounding for those lights.
