Default [U][B] Elelctrical Issue Help Please [/B][/U]

Okay so first my headlights wouldn't work, checked all fuses and breakers and traced the issue back to the multifunction switch. Found one on here, and replaced it. Headlights raised and and were working again, I put everything back together! Problem is, I did this during the day.. now my dash lights and tail lights aren't working! Anyone got any suggestions on where to start?

I would put the old switch back in and see if the dash and tail lights come back on just to eleminate the new switch. Also look for any loose wires or pins in the plug and socket.

Sounds like a bad switch. You can disassemble and repair it yourself.
