I was installing a shift light and I blew the fise for the gauges. I changed it, and they still dont work. There are two harnesses behing the cluster. The wire I touched that blew the fuse was on the right side of the black harness and it was hot when the key was on, not its never hot. But a few of the lights work in the cluster.

Nah, that wouldnt have anything to do with it. Thats just a hole in a big piece of metal. It dosent have any wires or anything in it.

Do you guys think I might have fried my cluster? It wasnt even connected when I blew that fuse.
