Red face XR4I dashboard electrical issues

Howdy all. I've just fitted an early mk2 dashboard into my XR4I as when I bought it, someone had robbed the mk2 dash and thrown a late curvy mk2 dash in without switches or the surround!

The problem I've had before I changed the dash was no dash backlight illumination (but the gauges worked and the full beam and battery lights show) or any other interior illumination bar the maplights in the roof and for some reason the illumination behind the fan switch.

But now the illumination behind fan switch is also off.

I also had a problem with main beams not working which I thought was a stalk, I tried the stalks from my mk2 xr4x4 donor car on butcher didn't work and the wash/wipe was permanently on!! So I've changed back to the mk1 stalks and now the headlights and indicators won't work.

What have I done ? Something relay or fuse related perhaps..

One step forwards & two steps back
