My car has a short?!? Help please!

06-03-2002, 03:34 PM

Hey guys whats up?
Just a few days ago while driving at night, my dashboard lights went out. The ones the dimmer controls..dash gauges and A/C console lights. Nothing else was affected. I thought...no big deal, must have been a fuse I will just replace it. Was I wrong..everytime I put in a new fuse it keeps burning it out. I've tried looking for loose wires and stuff like that, but I've been unsuccessful in finding anything . Its a 5 fuse that says IP Dimmer on the panel cover of the fuses. Anyone ever encountered anything like this? Please help. I cant see my gauges at night!! :mad:

Have you recently done any stereo stuff or been up under the dash? Do all your lights work in the rear of the car?

Just like I suspected..It was a short being cause by my stereo. I just recently sold my amp and my brother removed it..and he accidentally left a loose wire. All working now [img]smile.gif[/img]
