Title: Guage lights
Post by: capitlj on July 03, 2006, 12:48:09 PM
My dash lights still dont work i took everything that i could off on saturday and looked for any loose wires of course there is a few because i ran new wire for all my speakers and didnt remove the factory ones yet.  I changed some fuses and put a new connector on a frayed ground wire there was some oil on the back of my cluster from the old oil pressure tubing i cleaned that off. Now the speedo comes on until i flip the headlight switch on.  Now heres where things get bizarre the 5amp fuse for the dash lights used to blow the second i tried to turn the lights on now if there is no fuse in there one pin has power if i put the fuse in it doesnt:wtf: I tested this at least a dozen times.  I'm gonna check the dimmer and headlight swith for oil later but if anyone has got and ideas im all ears.
