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? |

as it turns out I believe this problem to be self inflicted. I need to do some re-wiring. I need a dedicated power lead from the battery to a secondary fuse or fuse block for some of my extra gauges.
If I can get thru the summer and the fall, as is, I will put that down as a winter time project. This #9 fuse is only 7.5 amps. IIRC it is either the smallest or next to the smallest fuse on the board. |
