No Dash Lights

This is weird. I have checked the fuse. I have checked the headlight switch in all positions. I have pulled out the instrument panel and verified 12V (Blue/Red wire, pin 10) and ground (Black wire, pin 9) of the connector. A test light works on these points, when light switch pulled. I took the panel out and applied 12v from an independent power supply to the panel contacts, and lights went on. But when I reinstall it, no dice.

Does anybody have a clue what I'm missing? Thanks,
Steve

You verified your power, the function of the lights and the switch. So, how's the ground to the dash?
