HELP Instrument Panel Lights?

Redfish, I'm not sure what the wiring luddites like me would do without you. So even with the light switch pulled I'm getting no power to the first fuse. I do get power to the female spade connecter you can see hanging beside the kick panel when I pull the switch. It has two black wire into one and doesn't reach the fuse box or anything else. When I jump it to the back of the number one fuse I get instrument lights however my turn signals light up and my temp and fuel gauge both go past far left? Im guessing thats not where it goes. I'll try your trick with the switch bypass and see where that goes.

Thanks everyone who has responded
