So in an attempt to get my gauge cluster working, I went into the fuse box and pulled a BIG black fuse with 4 prongs, right above the ignition fuse (I thought the one I pulled was the ignition fuse) so I connected the red (power) wire to one of the prongs and the black wire on my stupid voltage gauge to the batt. ground and started the car, once I noticed the gauge wasn't working I disconnected everything from the gauge/fuse box and now my ENTIRE gauge cluster isn't working, but the lights do work.

The car is a 1994 Accord LX and btw, I didn't check to see if the windows rolled down. Is this just a fuse problem? If so, can I get one of these fuses at a place that would be open on a Sunday night? Thanks!!

 

NEVER EVER EVER short a fuseblock.

If that fuse went, THERE IS A REASON! That reason may be its shorted, might be it was getting too much voltage, might be the resistance in your instrument cluster was too high. Either or, there's a fire hazard and the possibility you're going to blow something else out.

Change out the fuse, see if it works. A Multimeter and a wiring diagram are what you are going to need to check around with wiring issues.

 

 

WAIT, in searching for a replacement part tonight - I found that it is NOT a fuse, but a relay. I'll stop by the autoparts store tomorrow and see what they've got.

 

Go to carquest there like the 7 11 of auto parts stores lol
