all gauges died!
« on: August 11, 2009, 01:18:01 am »
well the po of my truck had rigged up a bunch of extra lights in the cab and had run them through the stereo wireing....well one day i was driving along and went to change the station on the radio and ended up moving it (not secured right either) and when i did all my factory gauges other than the speedo quit working!  the next day the radio came out after it set fire to all the extra wires the po had ran to the added lights. now all i want to do is figure out if there is a fuse somewhere or is the damage worse? ive looked at all the fuses and everything looks fine. i do not like driving without having a working temp gauge and fuel gauge! i added a mech oil psi gauge and a tach so im good there but id like to get everything else working again. all the lights work just the gauges themselves dont. any helpd would be greatly apreciated!! thanks guys/gals

Check the fuse box for the gauge fuse.
