Welcome to the forum :seeya

Dash lights, could be ground.

Reverse, check the switch to see if it is set right.(auto or 4 speed?)

:iagree: with 72GACRZR. Could also be dirty contacts on electrical connectors?

There is a ground for the dash lights are on the back side of tach, the back of the center trim and the back of the center console. The switch has a rheostat built into it that could be broken causing them not to work. Check of power at one of the bulb sockets. The back-up lights have a ground wire attached to the back side and can be checked the same way.
