I was uninstalling my amp and sub, and had to get back behind the deck and pop out the RCA's... well I guess that's not the only thing I knocked around because now I don't have blinkers, tach, clock, or stadard lights in the gauge cluster *e-brake, bat light, check engine ect*

Anyone able to narrow what wires I may have screwed up???

FUSES FUSES FUSES! Check out and I bet there are some popped fuses. Did you neglect to remove the negative cable form the battery before doing so?

Fuse 2 in the dash fuse box. It runs the clock, tach, coolant temp gauge, back up lights, warning lights(brake, low fue, oil pressurel and seat belt) and a few other things. Check there

how do I tell if it's popped????? i looked at the box under the dash and all the fuses are in... like all the way pushed in... lol I don't know anything about this kinda stuff.. it sounds like that's the right fuse, but how do I tell if it needs replaced, and if so, what sort of fuse do I buy??? one that says 2 on the back??

Sorry, but thanks for the help

it should be a 10 amp fuse, look at the back of the coin tray, it should have a legend/label on it tha shows the fuse numbers, I think some of the things that run off them, and what size fuse. You'll have to take fuse #2 out and look at it. They're clear so you can look and see if its blown. look in the middle of the fuse. you'll know if its bad

yeah just get a 10 amp fuse, if it blows again you may have shorted something out, chaffed a wire or something of the like. Cross that bridge when you get to it. Just go out and get you some fuses and replace the blown one
