Edmonton,
Hey guys,
Well here is the situation. I wired in an autometer boost gauge and volt gauge, then a AEM wideband, all to my dimmers switch (so they would dim with my dash lights). I read up on it, but still somehow I managed to short my switch out, and completely fry it.

I immediately lost all my gauge lights, and blew a relay in my engine compartment and lost my headlights. Replacing the relay fixed the head lights, but now that I have that new dimmer in my stock speedo, tach as well as the new gauges don't light up.

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
PS I also checked all the fuses and they seem good.
 
Solution
I actually discovered that for some reason my tail lights were out to, and that took me to a fuse in the engine compartment, and wa la! Everything worked!
Thanks for the help!
I would check them for continuity with an ohmeter and if they are open I know I just blew them gauges and need to buy some NEW ONES!:cry:
