You must have pulled out a ground wire when you pulled out the center dash..

Ok, this is classic.

They ALWAYS put a ground wire onto a washer and that goes to a nut or bolt that holds the dash in.
You probably have a dangling black wire with a grounding washer just dangling as you missed
putting it back onto a grounded nut or bolt..

Bet ya that's it.

Thanks jfall. I will get back in there and have another look and see if I can find anything.

Weird thing is, today when I got in my truck, the radio isn't flashing, only the clock and climate control. The compass is displaying a C and will not callibrate (new issue).

So I dissembled the center dash and center console today. No dangling wires anywhere. I did have one fuse blown. So I replaced it. No change in problems. Strange though. A couple hours after I put everything back together, left tuen signal started functioning normally. But now I have no power to my rear view mirror, compass, home link, and my heated seats do not turn on. I must have a fried wire somewhere but I'm not sure where it is! It's going to the shop tomorrow so hopefully they can look deeper and find the issue.

Took it to my indie rover mechanic, and he thinks it's the interior fuse box. Does that sound likely? He is going to pull a working fuse box from another truck and pop it in to confirm.

If it is the fuse box, what is the best route to go? New? or used? New they are like $365 from BPUtah, $429 from AB. I found one on ebay for $50 used in good working order. Any thoughts?

If their test fuse box fixes it, looking at the prices of the new boxes, I'd be tempted to try the $50 ebay option. If it doesn't work it's only $50, and if it does it would save a lot.

Interior fuse box is probably just loose.
It plugs into a harness type of plug.

Make sure it is not loose.
