ive got the dash and everything apart on my car. I found a little box box that was making the buzzing and removed it. My gauges still arent working. Is there a fuse, relay or fusible link somewhere that i can check? please help. Danny

did you think removing the buzzer would fix the problem?! :P
why is it that when something gos wrong instead of looking for the main problem everyone works backwards trying to fix the effects the problem caused
if this all started happening right after you did some wiring for your fan switch, you might have a look at that, and perhaps undo whatever you did and see if its fixed

check the guages fuse in the fuse box first, but just out of curiosity were you wiring this up to your fog light switch? i was working on that the other day and i could see some bad stuff happening if it was hooked up wrong
