dash lights are out.....

So I've give through two headlight switches and the problem is still not solved. The fuses are all fine and I checked wiring and I had to repair the write that runs to the dash. I'm at a loss. They were working once I fixed the wire but they went out again twenty miles into my for hundred mile trip. Taillights and headlights work fine. I did notice a pulsing however. Any suggestions for the next thing to check guys.

had the same problem , dash lights and tail lights used to go out , i could never find the problem , i kept changing fuses and randomly they used to burn . Sometimes they used to last a few minutes , sometimes a few hours and sometime a few days or a couple of weeks. I could never figure it out ! checked the ground , checked wires , checked trailer harness from under the hood to tailgate , replaced trailer connectors from truck and trailer ....fuse was still blowing ! The original fuse its a 15 amp , tried up to 25a still blew it . so far i got lucky because last fuse i changed was about 3 months ago , no issues since ...and its a 15A .

please let me know if you found the problem because i am really curious !
