i had a post on here about my dash light not working. every time i put in a new fuse it would blow it. well i did something stupid and put a 20amp fuse instead of a 10 amp fuse and it so the dash lights went back out and the fuse isnt blown. when u turn the dome light on the dash lights come on and are fine. but when u turn the dome light off they go back off. but when u just turn on the headlights the dashlights dont come on with them.
 
You've got a ground problem somewhere but the first thing you need to do is pull that 20amp fuse before you cause a bigger problem. If the dashlights are shorting somewhere then hitting it with 10 extra amps could blow out something else.

You need to try and trace the wire and see if it is nicked or cut somewhere. Best to start at the fuse box and then pull the gauges. After that it is just a matter if tracing the wire.
