While driving ito work this morning (rainy nasty weather) the Red gen light came on and all my gages in the ip stopped working along with the gauges in the center console . The dash lights were still powered so I could see that they all read zero. Still able to drive I continued to the office about another mile or so and parked. IF Im still charging I can drive home later this afternoon where I can take a serious look at the issue, but for now does anyone have any ideas? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Sounds like corrosion on your fuses. try spinning them in place to make a better contact.

Popped a fuse.... Swapped it out with a white/8a from another circuit and runs without popping( gauges on). This should get me home to determine the current draw on that circuit and repair as needed. Donor circuit gets the foil wrapper fuse repair for the ride home

Mine did that quite a lot. The culprit was a missing screw in the fuse box. It allowed the box itself to pivot slightly and one of the hot leads to make contact with the surrounding metal.
Oops. --DD |
