Default 99 civic si dash lights not working

so because some idiot who had my car before me spliced up my dash harness i'm trying to replace it. however, in the process i went to change it and lost all my dash lights (gauge cluster, climate controls, etc) all other lights work. i plugged the old harness back in and still no dash lights at all. i checked the fuses and they are all ok. what else could this be??

behind the dimmer switch theres 2 wires that you can jump that usually turn the dash lights on. search it, i found it a few months back but lost the thread
