I was crusing home from my local sprint car race last friday and my guages went black. So, I checked the 5 amp fuse in posotion 5 per the manual, and sure enough it was blown, so I put another one in and it blew instantly...great, I have a short somewhere!!! I'm doing some investigating now, maybe i pinched a wire underneath the instrument cluster when I put it back in...Pete would you happen to have a wiring diagram from the fuse to the guages or the diagram you think I would need?

I may have one but I can't get access to it right now. The computer it's on is down at the moment.

I looked under my dash at the fuse panel and the holes that the screws screw into on the fuse block to mount it in place are cracked and broken away! So the fuse panel/block moves around freely inside that metal cradle that is lays it....could this make my guages short out/blow the fuse?

Instrument illumination flows through fuse #4 (not #5) From there it flows in T/W wire to the dimmer portion (B2) of the main light switch. Coming out of the dimmer it flows, LB/R, to fuse 13. From there it goes to the instrument panel illumination in a LB/R wire, and to other items

could my main light switch be bad? I mean i dont think it would be cause everything else works except for the dimmer, it dont dim sometimes or if you put the dimmer wheel right at the edge where its going to turn on the dome light and stuff, the guages go black or flicker sometimes...this has happened to me before in other cars, also, a week or 2 ago by floor and dome light's fuse blew out, so I replaced it and they work fine now, maybe this is related to my current problem?
