…then you have a short still in the wiring loom.
The blue/grey wires meet at this junction behind the instruments. If you fried any section of the wire, then chances are more sections of the blue/grey wire have failed. This is a dangerous condition since the wire insulation is compromised and could short out something else.

You'll have to peel open the loom covering/tape to inspect this situation.
I cut it all out and ran new leads for the whole dash illumination.
