Dash/Instrument Cluster lights not lighting...

Hopefully someone can give me an idea of where to go with this...I have a 2002 Ford Taurus SES. It has the 3.0 Flex fuel motor. I have gone through and replaced the Headlight switch and checked all fuses...I even traced the ground down by the passenger kick panel and cleaned the ends and bolt where that attaches.

I go to turn on the headlights and the entire dash cluster is black...minus the turn signals and they are lit solid until you use the turn signals...Im lost! This seemed to all have started around the time frame that there was a TSB on the vehicle for a leaking wiper cowl...in which caused a blower motor failure. Well shortly after about a week, I started to notice probs with the dash lights coming off and on at different intervals, sometimes staying on for hours at a time and going out for about 10 mins...then it got worse over the case of a few weeks. Now I am left with them not coming on at all. Im hoping someone else here has had this same similar problem or can tell me where to at least try next.

Probs:
-No Dash lights when the lights when the headlights are turned on.
-Turn signal indicators light up solid unless they are in use.
