Took a trip downtown to get some Brad Penn. Then to a favorite brewery, Honky Tonk Brewery. On the way home I hear the stereo stop, then start again. I then see almost nothing on the dash works. No RPM, speedo is working but too high. no oil temp or fuel, no a/f, no oil pressure, no blinkers, you name it. The G light is on cht gauge too tho. Hazzards and dash illumination work. Head lights work, fog lights work. All the rear lights work at once. No brakes, just tail, etc…
Guess i have a weekend project. Thoughts? |

When trouble shooting electrical problems, I always first check the easiest things to test. The fuse is usually the easiest to reach and look at. Check the switch is in the correct position, check that the bulb isn't burnt out. If all of them check out OK, take a deep breath and drag out the multi-meter and the wiring diagram and ask for help.
