FYI, the taillight and cluster light circuits are somehow interconnected

Hopefully this can help someone in the future.

Tonight I fired up the K5 and noticed the dash lights were out. We are going camping this weekend and I wanted it to be in tip top shape so I started troubleshooting.

First I checked the fuses and even replaced the cluster fuse even though it looked fine. No Dice.

Then, I took the dash off and pulled the cluster out to make sure everything was connected and everything looked good.

I started reading some threads on here and for whatever reason decided to check all my lights

Working was the:
Courtesy lights
Headlights
Turn Signals
Backup Lights

Not working was the:
Tail Lights
Brake Lights
Dash Lights
Parking lights

After much diagnosis and no conclusions I decide to put a new fuse in for the tail lights. The one in there was perfect but I was out of options.

Low and behold, I had all my lights back. Not sure what was up with that fuse but I found it interesting what circuits is actually affected.
