gauges went bye bye - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

So in place of my stock gauges I have blue lighted white faced gauges, and now they went out, and so did my rocker switches that are wired to my under seat neons. I don't know why they went out, and I don't know electrical, so someone help.

I do have a connector to my battery that 2 wires go to, all this was hooked up when I bought the car, so I don't know what runs where.

Dsmtj thought it was the circuit board in my dimmer switch, cause his went, but all his ac controls and such also went out, mine didt.

It may be possible that you blew a fuse. I would check those first. Then look for a loose ground that would be common for the neons. Sounds like it could turn into a nightmare though.
