1. The dash lights work fine but none of the gauges do. (Speed, tachometer, odometer, gas and temperature gauges)
2. I applied power to one of the clusters going into the gauges. It was the cluster that is at the bottom left of my gauges. Obviously that cluster affects what is now shorted i am guessing.
3. My taillight and brake lights work.

Do you have the fuse diagrams for my car listed above?
Where is the fuse number 1?

I don´t speak English, I can read.
Help me please.
Thank you, Juan

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.

I have attached pictures of the fuse boxes, their locations and what each fuse is for.

Pictures 1 and 2 are of the under dash fuse box (driver's side).

Pictures 3 and 4 are of the under dash fuse box (passenger side).

Pictures 5 and 6 are in the under hood fuse box .

Let me know if this helps.

Take care,
Joe

Welcome back:
Since they all stopped working at the same time, I would start with fuse 6 in the under hood fuse panel. It controls the ECM/CC and gauge assembly.

Let me know what you find.

Here are a couple links you may find helpful:

Have you checked for disconnected wires under the dash as well as grounds?
