taillight, dashboard, headlight movement gone...

I changed my turn signal light bulb (front passenger) because it had blown out.....

I get back in the car, try to put down my headlights, and they don't respond. then I realize I also lost my tail lights and my dashboard lights....

I did some research and found out this can be a multi-stalk issue....

I'm just so baffled. it was working JUST fine before I changed my light bulb. how can I lose my multi stalk like this?

I thought maybe I snagged on a wire by the headlight control module, but it doesn't seem like it. also I don't think it would affect the dash lights in that case....

any suggestions guys? What could have possibly caused this?

I just checked the IPC fuse, it's good.

not sure how all the fuses related to those specific things can just all go out at the same time. any specific fuses I should check?

the dashboard does light up when there is a key inserted.

is there anything in the passenger wheel well/headlight area that I could have kinked (wire/harness) that could have caused this?

I had similar problem where my tail light, dash light, turn signals didn't work. (Brake lights work)

you might need to get signal & criuse control switch replaced. I just got mine replaced and now its fine.

here is a link HOW TO

everything points at it though. I mean what can be by the passenger headlight that would cut out power to my dashboard lights?
