Going to RRC2023 last week, I lost all my gauges just after leaving home. Pulled over to check things out and found a blown fuse. Blew a couple more before I figured out it was the left turn signal. Didn't use them for the rest of the weekend. I asked around and someone suggested I check the flasher or turn signal relay. I dropped the fuse panel and found this. Did someone swap my relays around?
 More in this thread to follow. I found lots of crap... |

After you cleaned and replaced the bulbs you now have new symptoms? I would start by re-installing the old bulbs. If it still persists I would look into the turn signal assm. But before doing that I would remove those rogue wires from the fuse panel so that only the OEM wires remain. Then with the switch on (disconnect the + from your coil/points so you can leave the switch on for extended periods of time) see which fuses have 12v. After that do the same again but with the switch off. BTW, do the license plate light work? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
