I have none! I checked the fuse and it was blown. I replaced it and it blew again. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this would be alot of help. Thanks, David


By the way my heater light doesn't work either.

Eather a pinched wire shorting out or Faulty headlight switch dimmer control.
Is where I would look first.

I put my meter on both sides of the fuse location with the fuse out and it shorts to ground on one side and not on the other so I don't see how it is shorted.

Nevermind I had a power wire going to ground. So whenever the instrument lights had power it would blow.
