All,

To make it short, no dash lights, speedo and gauge lights, no side panel flood lights, no nothing. The short 4 amp fuse in the fuse block blew, replaced, and blew again. As far as I can tell there is no power to either side of that 4 amp fuse holder at this time.

I'm stumped on this one......


Cheers,

Len,

I'm electrically challenged and can't help you other than to note you need to revise your signature! For the moment at least.

Doesn't it really bug you when you've got a real problem and some idiot makes a comment like the one above! ;-)

Regards,
Rob M.

Len, you're just going to have to start tracing out wires. I'm a little puzzled over apparently not having voltage at either end of the fuse - I'm going to guess that you've got a meter problem (or have the key in the wrong position or something). There had to be voltage there to blow the fuse, and once the fuse is blown, there's no reason for the power TO the fuse to fail (since there's no load any longer).

I'd suggest clamping an ohmmeter on the non-supply side of the fuse holder. If it's a 4 amp fuse, you should read no more than about 3 or 4 ohms from there to ground(since that's the resistance that would result in a 4 amp draw). Start turning lights and "dash stuff" off until you see the resistance change dramatically, and you'll probably be able to narrow down the problem to a single circuit - look for the one that causes the resistance to drop below 3 ohms when you switch it on. If there really IS no power getting to the supply side of the fuse holder, just trace it back from the fusebox - our GMCs are really dead easy to trace out since the back of the dash is so easy to get to through the hood(s).

Good luck with your troubleshooting!

Be sure the dimmed feed that goes to the radio backlighting is wired correctly. Aftermarket radios vary on this feature and it could be sending the dimmer to ground. ( shorted).

Did you do any rewiring such as your radio?

There is a grey wire that people sometimes mistake as a ground wire. It runs from the headlight switch to the original radio light. It feeds from the dimmer switch when you rotate the headlight switch. This wire becomes hot when you turn on the lights and if you have anything grounded to it the 4 amp fuse will blow.

If you check this wire with the lights off it will appear to be a ground because it goes through the bulb filiment's to the ground.

1. Radio
2. Heater Control panel light
3. Fiber optic power supply. You replaced this with your dash light mod.
4. Instrument cluster pin A Gray wire
5. Speedmeter cluster pin G gray wire
6. Optional Voltmeter - I have never seen one of these OEM

All of the above wires are gray.

You probably ought to start unplugging the above wires until the short goes away. I would start with the fiber optic light which is that new power supply you installed for your dash lights. I think my power supply quit as I have no dash lights. I have not got around to diagnosing it yet.

First make certain that there is no voltage on either
side of the 4 Amp fuse to ensure safety of your meter
in the next step!

Then try the resistance mode (Ohmeter) function of
your multimeter and measure the resistance (to chassis)
from each end of the fuse holder. Zero resistance will
tell you which side to start tracing to look for the short
circuit. If there are lamps in the circuit, you can expect
the resistance to be quite low, but the resistance should
NOT be zero.

Do you have a set of the "enlarged" wiring diagrams
that are available?

Of course, there is no telling what a P.O. may have done.

Good luck!

The 4 amp panel light fuse is fed from the dimmer rheostat which is part of the headlight witch. (The wire from dimmer to fuse is dark green in color.) Connect your meter between ground and either side of the fuse holder. Turn the lights on and twist the dimmer. If you don't see 12V, move the meter to the other side of the fuse holder and twist the dimmer again. If that doesn't get volts to the fuse replace the headlight switch itself. It's only about $15.

Once you get power to the fuse you can start looking for a short between fuse and light(s).

Hey, what I always do Len, double the size of the fuse and see if I smell smoke. Laughing
These kind of problems can be a real headache. One of my air pumps kept blowing the fuse. Yesterday I finally found a faulty ground, was loose. Took me 2 days. I did not double the 30 amp fuse but I did jump the holder for a second to see what happened.
So, don't take my advise. I am just telling you I hate these kind of problems and I am supposed to understand dc circuits. Sad
Let us know what you find.

Instead of risking compounding the problem, why don't you use a trouble
light across the fuse? It's not prefect protection, but at least the bulb
will limit current draw to a couple of amps. And it won't burn out if you
have dead short.

I pulled the back of the dash off just before it started raining (I does
rain in SoCal)..what a mess. I think the short also took out the clearance
lights.


Let me know on the power supply.

if you read this, the problem might not be behind the dash or in the

I pulled the back of the dash off just before it started raining (I does
rain in SoCal)..what a mess. I think the short also took out the clearance
lights.


Let me know on the power supply.



It is going to be a while until I get time to look at it. I'm baby sitting my dog who took a turn for the worse. I'm feeding him baby food with a syringe every 3 hours because his stomach over reacted to a Chemo treatment last week. So I do not leave home for more than 2 hours at a time. The coach is at that airport. It could just be a wire fell off or something like that. All I know at this point is the fuse is good.

Generally speaking if you let the smoke out of any electrical device it
quits working fast, real fast!

Hey, what I always do Len, double the size of the fuse and see if I smell
smoke. :lol:
These kind of problems can be a real headache. One of my air pumps kept
blowing the fuse. Yesterday I finally found a faulty ground, was loose. Took
me 2 days. I did not double the 30 amp fuse but I did jump the holder for a
second to see what happened.
So, don't take my advise. I am just telling you I hate these kind of
problems and I am supposed to understand dc circuits. :(
Let us know what you find.
Dan
