Default Instrument cluster fuse keeps popping
How come the fuse on my instrument cluster keeps popping? I have tried to swap out the instrument cluster with one that I got at the junk yard, but this one too keeps popping. Any ideas?

Very carefully inspect the wiring harness that goes to the cluster. Sometimes you will find wiring that rubs through certain areas under the dash.

I have inspected the wires that plub into the instrument cluster.

Is there anything else that shares this fuse? If so I would look there too.

Good point forgot about the shifter lever it also has a light on it that is connected to the same circuit as the instrument cluster. I think.

How come on the little section to the left on the message board there is a section that says scoor, and what does it mean?
