I think you may have two separate problems, one with the instrument light brightness controller and one with the turn signal circuit. Regarding the former, start with the remote possibility that your instrument panel brightness switch is simply turned down or, more troubling, defective.

The two attached pictures may help you troubleshoot the instrument light problem.

See next post for the turn signal problem.

For the turn signal problem, I recommend you test the turn signal/hazard relay (see pictures for circuit and troubleshooting).

Glad my suggestions were helpful, but I think you can credit yourself for solving the problem.
