Try L/S for parking position in the Pull-Out position.
Also, on the fuses [ specially 3].. take a 12v test lamp to both sides of the fuses to verify..and do not touch the fuse ends , rather the connectors they sit in..they will fool you.
I always spin them in the holder to get a good contact
Yes, neither side is lighting up. When I put it in parking position it would not stick when i pulled the switch out. I think the fog lights can only be turned on with the L/S turned to the right. I tested the fuse connectors, and it did detect electricity running through. After changing fuses and twisting them around still nothing has changed. Good idea on checking the grounds, but I don't know which wires are supposed to be grounded.
While working on my car today, I probably turned the light switch like 20 or 30 times. After a while I noticed the headlight alarm started working again. Sometimes, the cluster lights would even turn back on, if only for a few seconds. This happens right after I turn the switch on. The alarm works relatively consistently at this point, but the dash lights don't.
I'm going to take out the light switch now. Problem is that I don't exactly know how to test for what if anything is wrong with it. Seems like maybe something is loose or barely missing a connection. Obviously I don't want to replace it just to find out that it wasn't broken in the first place. Thats all for now. I will update tomorrow. Btw, you guys have been very helpful so far, thanks.
