Wiring Harness Woes

So long story short, I had to do some repair to my wiring harness under the dash. Took everything out, got the repair taken care of. Start hooking eveything back up, and think we are good to go....no instrument lights, no driving lights or tails.

Check, fuse is blown. No bueno. Start messing with spaghetti again, working from the passenger side back to the dash. Replaced headlight switch due to worn rheostat. Triple check wires and fusebox with multimeter, all seems good. Check lights, we have dash lights, tails and directionals. No issues. Everything is good and checked a few times...

Move on to work the ashtray light, lighter, courtesy light, glove box and passenger side door switch. Get it all hooked up (or so I think), no courtesy light. Check the bulb at the battery, it is dead. Go get a GE 89. Check it at the battery, it works. Put in the socket, no light, lots of probing iwth a multimeter....back to popping fuses, no dash directionals and tails, and ran out of patience for the evening.

I am puzzled. Interior lights under rear seat are good, door buzzers are good. It is like when I get beyond the ashtray something goes cuckoo. The only things over there are the glovebox, ashtray light, lighter and courtesy light...the wiring diagram in the FSM does not make mention of the courtesy lamp, unless I am missing something (it is not switched like the map lamp). I do know that Ma Mopar put about an extra five feet of wiring over there. I checked the bridge at the door switch, it functions as it should...do I have something backwards, or what am I doing wrong?
