I'm looking at my '96 manual which should be similar to '95. The power for the tail and dash lights comes from the same source to the headlight switch. The power route is from the battery to fuse 1 in the PDC to fuse 18 in the fuse panel to terminal B2 (pink/red wire) in the headlight switch. Switch terminal I (tan/orange) goes to the dash lights and terminal R (Black/yellow) goes to the tail lights.

The headlights use a different power source.

If you replaced the switch I would think it's now ok. Check for voltage at terminal B2 in the connector. If it's not there start working your way back to the source.
