Ok, so I took my instrument cluster out a few days back and my brake lights and turn signals worked prior to that. But now I can't get nothing out of them. All the running lights are working even tail lights but now brake light. I don't know what I did to cause that. Any info is much appreciated.

Sorry guys haven't had much time to fool around with the truck but now that work has slowed down. I'm back at it. B/U and turn signal fuse and stop light fuse were blown replaced them everything worked until I hit the left turn signal pulled fuses and they were blown again checked my ground in the taillight assembly they were good so I'm lost could be my turn signal switch causing all this chaos.

Something is shorting out then. I never experienced a bad turn signal switch causing a short. If it is related to pulling the cluster out and putting it back I would start there, but I don't know what to tell you to look for.

Can I ask what the reason was you pulled the cluster for? Might shed some light or be a clue.
