Hi Folks.......

Yesterday I decided to replace the little wedge based bulbs in the 16 'idiot' lights with LED's because half of them were burned out. When I finished, I turned on the ignition switch to make sure they all worked during the brief self check cycle.
Nothing happened. No 'idiot' lights and now, also, no speedo, tach, Tire Pressure monitor or SilverLeaf display.
I've scanned the Dash harness schematics but cannot find where this stuff is powered from. The analog gauges and their lights all work OK as do the windshield wipers, fans, eyebrow lighting, rear view monitor, etc.
I've checked to see if I might have knocked something loose, but have found nothing. No loose connections either.
I'm at a standstill. Has anyone ever dealt with this issue?

Could you have plugged them in backwards? LED's are polarity sensitive.

Even if that were true, it should not knock out power to all the other accessories.

Try flipping the led bulbs around.

A lot of leds are polarity sensitive., try reversing the bulbs and see if they come on.
