Dash Cluster Light Out

Last night I installed my RetroSound Stereo and new Dash pad. I had to pull the dash cluster out (gently) to screw in the dash pad, what a PITA. Got everything screwed back in and fired the Blazer up only to realize that the dash cluster light is out. The red dot bright indicator still works, as well as the turn signals, but everything else is dark. I traced the dash cluster light wire back, doesn't seem to be any issues there. Where else should I look?

Could be your interior lights dimmer turned off.

Didn't even realize we had a dimmer? Where is that?

^2 and also the power for the dash lights comes from the headlight switch. You may have blown the fuse.
