Yep, it was finding ground through the illumination lamp circut, because the metal bracket wasn't connected properly.
Glad you found the problem.

Run a new wire. There should be a spare wire for your clock memory that you can use, if your truck does not have the clock option. The empty plugs are at the bottom of the dash lower support metal, just behind the heater controls.
