When I went to leave a buddy's house yesterday none of my gauge lights would come on and for some reason the hatch was unlatched. I pulled the 5 amp fuse and it was blown, I put a 10 amp in just to see if that would fix the lights. My door buzzer came on for a couple seconds, it was hardly making noise, then I heard a click and the fuse for my headlight motors blew. The 10 amp gauge light fuse I put in didn't blow but I still have no lights or buzzer. Any ideas?

Headlights, tail lights, marker lights and the hatch release are all still working. I have no voltage at the fuse terminal on either side with the gauge brightness set to max.

The buzzer is operating again but it's barely audible.

I think it is the rheostat, if I push up on the rheostat dial the lights come on. Got a new one coming in tomorrow.

I'd get a new 5 amp fuse too. Could be a broken resistor wire in the rheostat that's shorting out?
