Dash and taillight woes

About a week ago my tail lights and my dashboard light went out on my 2000 Ranger and I'm not sure what caused it. At first I thought that the two were unrelated but I went through and checked all of my tail light connections and the fuse and it all is fine. Is it possible that the light switch needs replaced? I would imagine that they would be related since they both went out at the same time but im not sure. I still have turn signals and brake lights in the rear but I dont have running lights. Got any advice? Thanks in advance.

Which fuse did you check? I thought there were different fuses for each

Fuses 3 and 7 in the owners manual said that they were for rear lights. Both of those have been replaced and nothing changed

the fuse just to the right of the two for the rear lights. The manual labels it number 7. I havent checked that one yet. But I would assume that if it was blown the problem would be unrelated because that fuse has nothing to do with the rear lights right?
