hooked up gauges, got a problem
 

Hey guys, I just hooked up 4 gauges and wired them through the cigarette lighter wires and I started blowing fuses so obviously there must be too much load.
So im guessing im going to have to wire them differently. Where should I look to tap these into which can take 4 gauges?

ok i unhooked my gauges to make sure that fixed the blowing fuses problem and it did not. So I have nothing extra hooked up and my instrument light fuse keeps on blowing. Where do I start to find the problem?

First check the fuse rating in relation to what it's sapposta be (simple mistake that I've made before), then start checking the wiring going to the gauge cluster and to the HVAC controller and see if any of the wire are damaged.... You'll mainly be wanting to look at the red and red/black wires in the harness's since those are the illumination wires for the gauges.....
