ok here is the deal, about 2 weeks ago, i was sitting at my friends house, with my car running, and all of a sudden my camaros gauges stoped working, and my warning chime came on and wouldn't stop. I thought it might be the alternator, so i through a new one on, buy the didn't do anything. its the 10 amp fuse that powers the gauges and a couple other things i think. anyways, i drove the car around a few days without the guages working, and then i put another 10amp fuse in it just out of curiousity. It worked!!, for like 1 day, and then the fuse popped again today in the morning. CAn anyone figure out what this could by??? please!!!

 

I had the same prob. Fuse lasts for a day or so, then blows. Mine was the dome light fuse, and sometimes the guage fuse.Sometimes only lasted a few hours, then blew.

I disconnected all sorts of stuff, one at a time, but still the fuse blew. FINALLY I tracked it down to the wiring near the fuse box. There was a short wither in or right around the fuse box. I ended up suspending the fuse box by 2 bread bag twisties :rolleyes now the fuse never blows. Took me forever to track it down to the fuse box wiring.

Good luck. These things can take a while.

stick a paper clip in the fuse and see where smoke comes from, quick way to find it

 

I had a similer problem and it was the egnition harness on the stering colum that shorted and the door bell kept sounding off. hope this will help.

half way down the colum, on top that where your egnition switch is.
