Default Gauge cluster lights not working

Hi everyone one, I will start from the beginning. It started 4 days ago when I realized that when I leave my headlights on and open my door it no longer beeps at me. I didn't think much of it as I didn't have time to try and fix it. But on Friday night I accident left my lights on as it didn't beep at me. When I came back to my car it was dead, I got a jump. After work I turned my headlights back on my gauge cluster lights no longer turned on. I took my car to orielys and they check my alternater and battery and both were fine. Today I replaced my fuse and still nothing. I just checked for fault codes and I have a P0660 (Intake manifold tuning valve control circuit). Are these related? Does anyone know how to fix these or whats causing this.

You will need to carry out diagnosis to find where in the tail light/parklight circuit it is shorting out.

Has any work been carried out recently? Any modifications made to the car recently?

I just removed my tail light to find that a wire was exposed and being grounded causing the short.
