Post 87 ranger dash cluster

1987 ford ranger. dash cluster problem, tach, high beam light, turn signals light, seat belt light works. speedo, temp gauge, fuel gauge & other dash lights DO NOT WORK.
I think there is a ground problem as someone has wired in a new radio & their wiring is hacked in. Does anyone have a diagram as to what wires go to the 2 14 pin plugs that connect to the dash cluster.

The dimmer switch is wired to fuse 17 (5 amp) LB/R is spliced all over the place including the "instrument cluster illumination." All lamps are spliced and grounded to G200 on solid black. G200 is "behind the instrument panel to the left of the steering column."

to help others: I found my problem with the dash lights, the light for the glove box & the floor shifter were both shorted to ground.
