'The grey wire that lights the gear selector under the shifter console plate often breaks off and then shorts against various metal bits under the console.'

Just read the first part. Don't forget to disconnect the light, and lining up the shifter indicator light thing is a pain in the ass too.

The car would die for a brevity and sparks would fly out the passenger side wheel-well. That's not very on-topic, but but when I see an opening I go for it. Ask Phil's sister.

Yah but you were way to busy beating of to Buckethead..

Indicator light is good.. I'm going to buy a dimmer switch and pray thats it :jerkit;
Title: Hey Lepizzle! Dash lights!
Post by: ledzeppac on December 11 2006, 06:30:23 PM: Nope its not the dimmer... I put a GM one in today and now(only now) its blowing the fuse.

Could a burnt bulb blow the fuse? There aren't any overly noticable lose wires or connections.

Post by: 87natty on December 11 2006, 07:05:09 PM: Dammit Phil, swap some parts with a GN guy. I think it's your main light switch. But blowing a fuse is good I suppose. Keep at it. I think it's the damn main switch.
