DashLights/Gauges not working

My 1978 f150 supercab's dashlights and gauges are not working properly. the dashlights do not turn on AT ALL. The 3 gauges(Gas,Temp,Oil) (Battery seems to be working) are not working at all and the indicator just sits at the bottom of the gauge. I have replaced the headlight switched. Also have replaced the ICVR. (Voltage regulator). Any information would be helpful. Pictures posted below with a question on one of them.

Am i missing something from this?





Thanks for looking! -Noah

What's the deal? You started a thread on this, I responded, you ignored me. I responded once more, you ignored me, and then started almost the exact same thread again.

If this is just going to be a waste of time (which it has been so far), let me know ahead of time.

other thread was too old and wanted to make a simpler thread to be read. and sorry.
But the black wire on the instrument fuse does not have any power to it, could this lead to something?

I have no idea what you're talking about. There is an instrument cluster illumination fuse, but the wire colors to that circuit are BLUE with a RED stripe.

In your "too old" thread (which, at the time of this writing, is still on the first page of the forum), I listed several questions that you need to answer very clearly, which you have yet to address (which I'm not going to repeat in a new thread). Instead, you continue to make ambiguous, self-directed statements that create even more confusion. This is my fourth attempt at trying to push you for critical information that's needed to even have a chance at understanding your problem, and I still have no idea what you're talking about. You're clearly not willing to do your part. Best of luck; perhaps someone else here has more patience.
