Been chasing this all day. So frustrating. Took the car out for a spin and noted the fuel gauge wasn’t working and the rpm gauge was off slash not working and the “gen” light came on. Got to Home Depot and saw a blown fuse. No problem. Easy fix bc I carry spares. Got back in and it blows. Now what really blows... I’ve been bird dogging this all day. Pulled the tail lights to check for a short. Nothing. Wipers work ( before fuse blows) and wires to motor look good. Not sure what could be causing this and wondering if it could be the fuel sender? It’s under the evaporator tank (1975) so don’t feel motivated to take the 12 bolts out to get to it. It is an after market sender.
Could there be a problem or short in the gauges or is this the wrong fuse? Wondering if any of you folks have run into this and have a place to start? Thanks!! Attached image(s)
