So i was driving and all of sudden my cars gauge cluster stopped working. so i turned the car off to see if i could see anything loose. Checked and didnt see anything. So i turned my car in the ON position and the only light that comes on is the battery. the turn signals work as well but that is it.

the rpm, speedo, engine temp, and odometer are not working. it appears as if my fuel is still working.

could this most likely be a fuse? if not what could be the other options?

 

Ok went and checked fuse #25 and it was blown so i put a new one in and it blew as well. So horray I have a short somewhere.

Where can i begin to look for a short?

i would begin at the fuse box, then read the wires from there.

 

found the short, it was the yellow wire on plug 419, weird thing is that, that wire isnt connected to nothing. must have got stuck on a ground. btw my car is an auto to manual car so the yellow wire went to the shift lock
