Default Best way to access dash wiring????

Need some advice/help here folks. My 97 f150 has some electrical issues.. My headlights, signals, dash lights, tail lights won't work when light switch is in the ON position. Also my heater controls have issues, blower fan won't turn on for any options also when I turn the switch it sounds like there's something grounding out behind the dash.

What is the best way to access the harness? I'm expecting a dash removal but hoping for ideas thanks!

Is this something that you just noticed? Or have you had this problem for awhile? Did it get wet?

I just purchased the truck about 2 weeks ago knowing i had a list of things to fix. Previous owner explained the problem was in the light switch but I'm almost certain that's not the case.

Check the gem module, see if it has water damage. Sometimes water gets in behind the windshield on the left side and drips on the gem. Worth a look.
