There are two fuses. 1 for combo meter ( Fuse #4 which you pulled) and another fuse for S-mode switch (fuse #3. both 10A)
Check #3.

There is a "signal" connection between Combo meter and S-mode switch. It should be one connector with specific pins.

4.CHECK S-MODE SWITCH INPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect combination meter harness connector.
3. Check the continuity between S-MODE switch harness connector and combination meter harness con-
nector.
S-MODE switch Combination meter
Continuity
Connector Terminal Connector Terminal
M255 1 M53 12 Existed
4. Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.

So you want to check Connector 255, pin 1 at Switch to connector 53 at combo meter pin 12.

I highly doubt you have a short but there are "junction" connector (M98) along the way. Those could have not been connected or loose.

good luck.
