I have no idea were the problem is, so I was hoping some of you guys would have some insite. My gauge cluster is not lighting up and the tail lights are also out. I keep on blowing 10amp tail light fuses under the hood. My tail lights still light up when I hit the brakes or use my turn signals. I put a 30amp fuse in and the cluster and the tail lights lit up just a little bit. I can not find any other blown fuses or grounded exposes wires so I have no idea if it is something incredible simple but who knows.

Don't put a larger amp fuse in a slot that it's not supposed to be. You'll end up starting the wires on fire doing that and you'll have a charred wiring harness or a partially burnt car!
Check to make sure there isn't any water sitting in the bulb connectors as that can create a lead to ground and trip the fuse. -------------------- "I hear he tunes the space shuttle also...and that thing is fast"
