i had some trouble with my indicators so i resoldered my cpu then a week later my dash lights and gauge lights stoped working, i checked my fuses and everything seems to be fine there, could this have something to do with the cpu?

What indicators were you having trouble with?

Some of the warning lights may be cpu driven, but the parking brake light definately isn't, does it still work?

sorry the turning signals, all the warning lights work, its just the gauge cluster and my after market gauges

Personally, sounds like a headlight switch.

BUT.

That's not your problem its your symptom. Find whatever is pulling current (or adding resistance) and burning connections in your CPU. That's your problem. There could be something as simple as a dirty socket in a marker light.

i did not think about it being the switch, due to the cpu playing up beforehand, thank you for your advice i will look in to that.

Sorry about the above post, I was confused by the indicator thing, I thought you meant the idiot light display on the dash.

ClassicAuto is on the right track, the gauge lights are fed by the headlight switch only.
