gauge cluster lights and others not working

The headlight switch has Terminal one is vertical, two is vertical, three is horizontal, four is horizontal. Top and bottom pins work for headlights and I would assume the middle pin and bottom pin would activate the parking lights. Alas it does not.

 

Bryan,

Ugh. It's mighty strange that you have 2 light switches acting the same way. Let's verify something. I'm assuming I'm looking at the back of the switch in the upright position in the shop manual. Terminal 1 and 2 are horizontal pins. Terminal 4 is horizontal and 5 is vertical. How does it look on your end?

Thank you for that!!       The picture in my shop manual does indeed show things upside down.   

The top and pin 2 activate the dimmer, the top and pin 3 are your parking lights.  So there are only 4 terminals and not 5 right? That means my memory is worse than I thought, and the picture in my shop manual makes it look like 5 terminals too.
