Default 98 ZJ no gauges or dash lights

My 98 ZJ 4.0 has no working dash lights or gauges. The abs light lights up when its started, but thats it. I've pulled the cluster and swapped with a known good cluster, didn't fix it. Cleaned the connector behind the cluster, didn't work. For a while, my gauges would work with the headlights turned on, but eventually stopped working all together. Fuse #17 (headlight switch) keeps blowing, I've replaced with a known good headlight switch, no change. I've checked every ground I know of and have found nothing. Does this sound like a bad BCM? Where else would you all look next to solve this problem.

I'm looking for a used BCM that matches my options. I won't buy new since its a dealer only part and about 450$
