Default 92 SI - Dash, Tail lights, and corners wont light up PLS HELP!!!!

Whats going on guys I have a 1992 Si hatchback and im having a couple problems with the lights...

Problem - entire dash, corners, and tail lights will not light up. When i put my signals on, the corners work and the green arrows in the cluster work - When I put my foot on the brake my brake lights come on.

Its kinda weird - I've checked all my fuses and when all 4 headlight fuses are IN...the head lights go ON w/high beams when i switch it to OFF and reverse....I took one of the highbeam fuses out and the lights work normally.

Its really irritating that the dash and parking lights wont work - I'm not really good with wiring so any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance guys

Get a DOVM or volt / ohm meter and start tracing the wires. check for shorts or opens.

This is not something that someone here can say Oh that wire. seriously,

get a hold of the wiring diagram for the cluster, Infact try this. check your dimmer module and see if its working.
