Row of instrument lights all out on dash 700 1990

Today I put in a new sunroof switch, which works great, but this evening, when I turned on the lights I noticed that the lights that illuminate all of those switches along that panel are out. Not the instrument panel and not the heating/cooling control panel, but all the switches that run vertically from either side of the steering wheel. I do think they were working before. I just changed all the normal fuses to new. It's too late and too dark to do much tonight, but I did look at the little blue bulbs that insert over the rear defrost switch and sunroof switch and they didn't look burned out.

Does this sound like a familiar problem to anyone? Are all of these switches on a certain circuit, wiring harness or anything in particular that I could check tomorrow AM?

There was a black wire that was lying, unattached to anything, in the fuse area since I bought the car that I grounded to the chassis. Could that wire have not been a ground wire, after all? I did this about a month ago and had not noticed any ill effects.

On the upside, replacing the fuel regulator seems to have solved my stalling problems for now.

As always, thanks in advance, and for past advice I have gratefully put to good use.

Dean
