My instrument cluster keeps blowing fuses, replace and works a thousand miles or 5 miles and goes again. Any ideas for a quick fix?

 

How do you know is the cluster??

 

only to find out what causes the high current first. maybe short circuit?

was it the fuse no.10 or 14?

 

#10, all gauges go to zero. clock works, but nothing else. It may go a month or so and work fine, then, it goes out.

 

#10 fuse, the instrument cluster fuse blows and all gauges to to zero.

 

It turns out the fuses were blowing due a short in the third brake light. 3 hrs. and 160.00 took care of it.

 

 

Im currently having the same problem ..except my fuses are not blown out. what else could cause this problem? #10 fuse and 14 are still intact. IS there another area where fuses are keep besides in the engine bay? and trunk?

 

Well I dont know what just happened... checked all fuses ,they are fine , moved door lock switch on driver side door , put windows down and all of a sudden my cluster started to work agian.

 

My mechanic found a short in the 3rd tail light (trunk lid) that was the problem. He fixed that .75 for the wire and $263 in time to trace the problem. Hope that helps.
