I need to remove the dash and put in some lights and put a switch in where the cig lighter is now

You must have a blown fuse. Did you test each fuse with a ohm meter? Keep in mind you must remove each fuse from the fuse block to test it. If you touch the meter leads to the two metal bits on top of the fuse without removing it from the circuit, you could get a false reading or damage your meter. Also, a blown fuse doesn't necessarily have to look charred and black inside, depending on where the element broke. Your vehicle manual should have a diagram showing what each fuse is for. This might save you the trouble of checking every fuse, and confirm the fuse was put back into the correct slot.

The cig lighter fuse is in the box under the dash on the driver side.

From my wiring diagram power for the radio is fuse # 29 a 25amp fuse! The fuse for cig lighter also powers the DLC Pin # 16 . The DLC is the connector under the dash left of the steering wheel . This is where you would hook up a scan tool ! Are you saying by part dash lights ,that some of the dash lights are out ? Could just be some burnt out bulbs ! Was fuse # blown ? Did you cig light work before ? Could have a shorted out cig. lighter or the outlet ! To fix dash bulbs the instrument cluster would need to be pulled ! How to Replace Dashboard Lights In Depth

if its working in park there is a earth fault and the park light switch is sending a backward earth and this is why you get lights with it on. now there is a lot of earth wires in the dash it may be best to make a new one. you will need to find the original earth wire colour and connect the new earth to it and put on a good earthing point. you even just check the cig lighter fuse and check this some times when this fuse blows it can be on the same circuit. as its a 98 it could be this most new vehicles don't have cig lighter any more.

These items clock, radio, dash lights are usually fused on the same circuit. Please check the fuses for this problem. The fuse or fuses should be listed on the fuse box cover inside the interior fuse box. Replace the blown fuse if that is that problem. If it blows again, then the cig lighter circuit may be involved. Make sure the cig lighter is free of any objects, remove lighter, (push in part). Try new fuse while lighter is out, and if problem goes away, push in may be bad.

I am nearly positive that this model has an additional fuse block under the hood. Look on the driver's side of the engine compartment.

for center console removal start furthest point from dash move seats forward and look for screws of either side of console. may also be in storage area of console. remove back section first which will reveal screws for front which should reveal screws for area that holds cig lighter and such

the radio might have its own inline fuse at the back some have them on the live wire in a black tubular casing , you need to get radio out of hole in dash to find this out, do same with lighter to, some have a fuse inline as well remove that and see if that has a simular thing to the radio hope that helps

hopefully nothing serious. if you can, make sure your wires did not burned or got too hot.Visually inspect them. Then, if you have a voltmeter check to see if you getiing power to it. no voltmeter? Go to your nearest auto parts store and ask for a test light. Back to the lighter, if you have power on the wires or wires leading to the back of the lighter, more than like it you lighter burned out.  No power on the wires? make sure wire did not get fryed or burned, all wires look good? check fuses again.  worst case scenario, can't find problem ? you can run another wire from your fuse box to the lighter. 

The heavy duty or 'circuit breakers' should be in the engine compartment, perhaps in front of the air breather.There are one or may be 2 inside behind the front side kick panels driver and passenger side, or under the steering wheel.
