i had the same issue with all the dash lights, turns out as i was installing the "cigar" lighter as the fuse box on the 96 gs says i connected two wrong wires and when i put my lights on i shorted out the dimmer switch, smelt terrible and smoke came out. i took out the switch and cut the plugs wires and connected the black wire with the black wire with a yellow stripe and tapped off the green with white stripe. put my lights back on and i forgot that i never undid the botched wire job on the cigar lighter, blew the taillight fuse under the hood. A quick 15amp fuse did the trick everything is back to normal just with a bypassed dimmer switch :)
