    Default Dash lights fuse issue

    When I bought my car the cluster lights were not working. I found the fuse was bad replaced and all was well for a while. Then one night they were out again. Fuse was bad again. I know its probably gonna be a pain to find just wondering if there is a good place to start looking.

    Have an immediate fuse pop for interior lights going to look into that more when I pull interior for restore hopefully very soon.

    Many people mistake the blue with red stripe as a ground , but it is dash lights .

    Usually the 2 most common issues are a ground issue or a bad connection. Check all of the light sockets for burns...or looking like its hot. If you have a poor connection or a bad ground, it can overload the fuse and pop it. Harder to find, you could have a wire that's scraped bare and grounding out. That will take some sleuthing to find.
