I started to re-train my tires, a family emergency stopped me from finishing it. The next day i went out to finish it and the entire dash is not working. nothing works; gauges, speedometer, fuel level, tachometer, the digital mileage, nothing. I've I looked at all of the fuses in the box inside the cab (driver's side) and they are good. I've searched google to find the cluster fuse but can't seem to get the answer. I'm stuck, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,

If you look below, I attached the entire wiring schematic for the cluster. There were two pics, but I had to cut them in half to make them readable for you. I did overlap them so you can follow from one to the next.

I highlighted the fuse to check in pic 1. It's fuse 46 in the under hood fuse box. In pic 2, I highlighted the B+ pin at the cluster.

When you check the fuse, also make sure there is power to and from it. Here is a link you may find helpful:

Also, here is a link that you may find helpful when checking wiring and connectors.

The last pic below is the fuse box. I highlighted the fuse to check
.

Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
