Default Strange Electrical problem

Hey all.

Drove to work today, all was good. On the drive home, I noticed my clock wasn't lit up. Thought it got blown. Radio worked. Double checked the fuse, and all was good. Noticed that in addition to the clock, the turn signals, fuel meter, and heat meter do not work. But the 4 ways do.


The fuse was blown for the turn signals, replaced it, and it blew again .


Any ideas?

Replace the turn signal bulbs, replace the fuses, is your alternator over/under charging? Lights dim on revs or illuminate more? Check the fuse for instrument lights under the dash. - Darrell

Pull the plastics off and start tracing wires, check at 1 end with a multimeter and then check other. If theres' a large diff then you might have possibly found your problem. Sounds like a short draining the battery/charging system. - Darrell

It's been doing the illumination thing for a while. Didn't bother me. But I don't get why my 4 ways work, my radio works, but the other stuff doesn't.
