Ok stupid me. I took out the dash and it has cause more problems than it is worth. Number one the climate control and instrument cluster stopped lighting up. I located the bad wire and it was the ground wire that was reading postive. I was able to run a ground from the back of the instrument cluster one going into and one going back into the harness and they will light up. But the dimmer will not work and also my biggest problem the battery keeps on going dead. So I am thinking that it is pulling a low voltage somewhere.
Does anyone have any ideas? |

It is the black and yellow wire that grounds the lights for the climate, instrument panel and the controls for cruise and mirrors. I thought that I checked them all. I even followed them all thru the haarness to harness I followed them back. Now that I think about it. When I cut the wire going to into the instrument panel the voltage stopped. I will check it again.
