Default Odd dash lights and taillights problem

1997 v6 4.0l 4x4 - Having a bit of an odd issue tonight. On my way home from work I noticed my trailer lights were not lighting up properly on the actual trailer. I was fidgeting around with the harness to see if I could get them to work. I was only able to get the brake lights working.

About 10min into my drive my dash lights went out. ABS light is still lit (previous issue), high beam dash light works, turn signal dash light works, my dome overhead works. The actual lights that light up the dash do not. This is not the only issue. I noticed that both taillights are also not working anymore. Brake lights and turn signals DO. Headlights also work.

I checked fuse #33 and it's still good yet but it all seems odd. Could I have done anything while messing with the harness from the truck? What are the chances that both the dash lights and taillights both went out? Will buy new taillight bulbs after work today.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

The issue is fixed. It was fuse #3. I just thought it was odd that it happened when I was messing with the harness. Thought it was a bigger issue
