AE86 dash and running lights gone out

[Mikezore]

well new relay yeilded nada.. the new one showed the same output voltage so i can only assume its internally resisted down because the output from it runs to the headlight reatiner relay.
Which on a side note i opened up to exaine and is not a relay at all but a transistor based timing circuit that control the auto off function on the lights..

So I'm back to square one. gonna do some more disassembly and trace out some wires...just cant figure out why the initial diagnosis was so obviously the switch but now im running in circles hunting a wild goose..
