Need gauge light help quick.

So last night i was attempting to switch out my gauge lights for leds in my 92 rs. I was trying to release the headlight switch when my screwdriver slipped and i hit something. Sparks flew and i blew a few fuses.. i replaced the fuses. and now i got my buzzer back. but still no gauge lights. Please help its my daily driver. I replaced my headlight switch already, but still no luck.

This is unplugged... does that have to do anything with it?

Make sure the dash dimmer control is set at the bright position, then using a voltmeter or test light (the type for testing for voltage, not a continuity tester) probe BOTH sides of the INST LPS fuse.

If there is no power both sides check for power on the
orange wire at the headlight switch.

Then check for power on the
dark green wire at the headlight switch.

Is there power on both wires?


Happy Racing!

Re: Need gauge light help quick.

Are you sure you haven't just got the LEDs in backwards?
