Lighting Problem. Specific ground?

Ok guys, another electrical gremlin for you. I recently had the front clip off my truck to replace the engine (it sits too high for the hoist to pick an engine without doing so). Now, when my high beams are engaged they don't work and one of the low beams goes out as well. The indicator light doesn't work anymore either. My dome light also quit working. Turn signals, marker lights, and low beams work just fine. Is there a specific fuse or ground to check? This one has me stumped. Thanks!

Steve

Re: Lighting Problem. Specific ground?

I changed my cluster and after finding this i added grounds
as was recommended on this site to solve random cluster issues
check the pink out too
check the bolt on the firewall ground block, is tight mine was loose

those harness connections are less then a foot from the cluster plug

and you get to take out the belt buzzer lol like it was never there
