I have disconnected the plug ins to the speedometer unit, I have no power to the red/ blue wire which should be the power source to the lights on dash. Rechecked fuses all are good ground is good. What next? I am am not sure.

It looks like the headlight switch is bad then. I would replace it. Fuse #11 is good correct? Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what you find.

Do you have power at the red and yellow wire going into the headlight switch?
