Printed circuit
« on: April 06, 2020, 05:28:13 PM »
So I have a 1986 k10 a/c truck.  I have swapped to the LED bulbs in the dash, and removed the factory oil pressure, water temp, and clock.  In their place there is a mechanical oil(454 fires off at 70psi), mechanical water temp where the clock was, and AEM af/r gauge.  I kept the factory voltmeter.  everything worked for two weeks and now today it instantly pops the fuse for the cluster lights.
i did damage the circuit board to fit connector through, so i believe that it my culprit, is there a way to remove circuits to close them off so they don't short out, while keeping the lights useable?   
also who have you used for a new printed circuit?

It sounds like you can get rid of most of the printed circuit anyway. Why not install these to eliminate using the pcb for the illumination? https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/vehicle-bulb-sockets-adapters/t325-wedge-base-socket-wired/1150/2737/

honestly, because I don't know how to remove portions of the circuit while keeping what I need
