Check Fuse#8 turns out the dash lights and taillights are on the same circuit - in my case when one of the taillight bulbs blew out the filaments inside crossed & caused a short, blew 4 more fuses until that bulb was replaced, now it works perfect again... sucks that is cost me $145 for 1.5 hrs of an auto electricians time to diagnose & trace the short down to that bulb.
