Short Circuit w/Indiglo Gauges=Dash wont turn on!

[Budget Tuner]

When I installed my Indiglo Gauge Cluster I ran the the power from the small light bulb in the ash tray. I connected everything and the indiglos looked great. However I from that same connection I ran another two wires through my dash over to my windshield pillar so I would have power for my triple gauge pod. When I got around to installing it I stripped the wires and was about connect them when the bastards touched and a spark flew.

My entire dash does not turn on nor do my tail lights or marker lights.

However my car runs and the headlights work and the hazards along with the turn lights work. So I know I did not burn out the computer.

I looked at the fuse box and all the fuses looked ok, also in the fuse box there are these large black fuse/relays. I took out the one that controls the dash lights and replaced it however the dash still doesnt work.




Please I need the guiding wisdom of my DSMtuner brothers!

look at your fuses again there should be a 10 on the bottom right hand side that is for all of those lights and what not. if it ain't the fuse check the wires leading back from it. good luck.

Dont hook up so much crap to a fused item. Run a new tap from a main line and install your own fuse it its going to need more current
