Short Wire somewhere?
Heres the things that dont work :
Cig lighter
Power Door Locks
Power Release Hatch
Dome Light
Thats all i can think of at the moment. Anyways though i replaced the blown fuse, drove downt he road, then that one popped to. Is this a short wire somewhere? If so where should i look for it, I dont wanna tear everything out of my car like i might have to, but if anyone has any comments it would be greatly appreciated.
Also my gauges arent working right, i pulled them to install my reverse indiglo gauges, and someone told me that they were self calibrating, so i just popped the needles in and reinatlled the cluster. Everything is off... What do i do to fix this? Thanks alot guys.

This just happened to someone i know. Turned out their cigarette lighter was shorting and blowing the fuse. Try taking the element out or disconnecting the wire that goes to the back of it and go for a drive to see if that changes anything.
I don't know about the guages though. I didn't think that they were self calibrating.

Glad to help
.
When your not moving does your speedo read that your moving. You might be able to fix that by just putting the needle on so it says 0. Might not be dead on but better then it was atleast.
