It sounds to me that something is back feeding the dash lights. I'd take a look at the headlight switch. If you don't have a trailer tow package, and added a trailer light hookup with one of those premade harnesses that plug into the truck's tail lights back by the rear bumper, it can overheat the light switch and it will melt the wires/switch. This happened to my 90, but the lights would go out unless you had the switch pulled out to between full on and just the park light position. A new switch was the fix for me. If it is bad enough, a new pigtail to the switch is needed.
