Dashboard

[MR TURBO]

Hi guys I was just fiddling about inside the stereo compartment there was a little spark next thing I know I had no dashboard working.........no dials are working no gauges nothing the dashboard light comes on when I twist the headlight stalk that's it.......What have I done I have checked the fuses it seemed to blow a couple I have renewed them but still have no dash :scratch::scratch::scratch: is there a relay or something for this :confused::confused:

no problem mate

It sounds to me like the shorted wire was probably the illumination circuit as it shares the earth for each component hence blowing so many fuses
