W126 interior lights wont' light up-HELLLP!!

[RG5384]

ON my 1983 300Sd, i was installing the power headreast toggle switch into my center console(got newer w126 seats) and in the process ended up taking apart the center console, as well as the area around the acc. After re-assembling everything the interior lights will not light up. All of the fuses under the bonnet appear to be OK. After letting the car sit for about 1/2 hour i went out and turned the lights on, and they lit up. 10 minutes later went out again to double check it was ok and to take it for a ride, and again my Interior lights were gone. Every single one of them except the dome light, guage cluster, center console, acc etc etc. all "dome" type lights work though, as well as all of my windows etc. I'm thinking possibly a ground wire? thanks in advance
