Question 944 no dash lights, help!

On my 1990 S2. New car to me. I was putting dash back together awhile back and the cigarette lighter light seemed to be on one minute and the next it was off. Same with the ash tray light. I figured maybe the bulb was not making contact so I pulled the bulb and straighted out the very small wires and bent them back to replaced the bulb. While I was put the bulb back in the socket it made a small spark. Now everything is dark. Not everything but the following: Dash lights, cig light, lic plate light and ash tray light.
Checked the fuse, no problem.
Replaced bulbs again, no change;
Replaced the dimmer switch, no change.
Replaced the headlight switch, no change.

Running out of ideas. Maybe need to check the ground. I do not have a wiring diagram which would be nice.

Any Ideas where to go next. Have not pulled the dash yet as I was trying to avoid that since I would need to pull the steering wheel.

Thanks
Greg
