No dash or exterior lights

I used my trailer all weekend, this morning I went out to find my dash lights, marker, tail and trailer lights aren't working.

I checked the fuses, first none are marked lights, but didn't find a bad one.

Did I damage my headlight switch?

Thanks

It isn't unheard of for the multiswitch to die in these trucks hopefully someone on this board who knows more about the electrical system than I do will chime in before you go down that road.

I think, I haven't checked to be sure, but my trailer lights may have shorted when I put the ramps back on.

I did that once before on my 1992 Dodge and had to replace the headlight switch.

I am surprised there is no fuse

I found it!

I Googled the problem, and found out there is a second fuse block under the hood! Sure would be nice if they had put that info in the owners manual!

There was a fuse for trailer/lights that was bad due to a bad wire on the trailer.
