Exclamation Blinker+ dash light problem

neither my blinkers, nor dash lights work, however my hazards do work. could anyone tell me where the wires for the dash lights and the blinkers are so i can run them back, and try to see if their snipped somewhere?
i need to know where, and what color they are. thank you

Sounds like the switch harness itself may have a short in it. It is a foot long set of wires, you'll have to remove the steering wheel, and surround to get to it, and you will see the white pin connectors on the back of the turn signal switch as well as the light/popup switch, they will run into a single blue pin connector behind the cluster. It will have blue wrapping around it (assuming it has not been messed with).

Is it just your dash lights, or your parking lights all together (side markers/tails without brakes)?

Have you checked the 15 amp Turn fuse? Once you're sure the fuse is good then drop to the bottom of the CPU (driver kick panel) and locate a 6 wire plug at the bottom of the CPU. The Green/Red wire has voltage w/key to on and the turn signal pressed downward to indicate a left turn. The Green/Yellow wire has voltage w/key to on when the turn indicator is set to make a right turn.

The Red/Green wire from the headlight switch powers the lights in the gauge cluster. The Red/Green wire "also" powers the "lights" to the cigarette lighter, the wiper and washer switch, the turn switch, the hazard switch, and the cruise control switch. Do these lights work or not?

There's a Red/Green wire going into the back of the gauge cluster at connector ME-01. Check for voltage on this wire when the dash lights should be on.
