gauges, automatic headlight don't work!

hey guys...
my gauges stopped working the other night they just went dead... and it'll pop fuses. the automatic headlight system (it's a 1992 camaro) won't work either... i have to turn headlights on manually, the sensor doesn't work.

where are some common grounds on these cars I can check and cleanup. any idea on where I should start with this? OH AND ALSO my cooling fan won't come on (previous owner did a major HACK JOB on the wiring for the fans)...

i'm confused and don't really know what to do... where do I start?

thanks
garett

Check to see if there are any wires spliced into the gauges fuse. You may want to get a Helm shop manual - it has the complete wiring diagram included. Which motor does your '92 have? VIN E TBI with one cooling fan at the radiator?? To see what's basically connected to the gauges fuse check out the '85 schematics at:
