Default No tail lights or dash lights HELP PLEASE

I had the dash out and replaced all bulbs, now no tail lights?
The only way my dash lights work is running a jump wire to a hot source.
They all work in the dash with a jumper wire but not the switch?
Still no tail lights
Four ways flash, Brake lights work no tail,rear side marker,license plate?
I have a diagram but still not getting it.
All fuses good
light switch is turned to the right to max light
I tested the switch red wire hot all the time, purple hot when pulled all the way out
But does not show hot in the middle on any other wire just red

I hesitate to ask, but did you check the fuse? They are all on the same circuit.

Sometimes the smallest things can be overlooked

Mike I replied to your other post no blinker and the problem or answer would be the same. Check all your grounds for a clean metal contact no paint under the ground. As far as the dash lights (& I'm not in the car ) but shouldn't you turn the switch all the way to the left to brighten the lights and turn on the interior lights? And I hope you don't leave that jump wire inplace that its a test only. You will have a dash fire real quick w/something like that. G/L
