So, while wiring up two mods this past week (I'm on vacation), I somehow managed to mess up my guage pod.
I have installed new bling ricer lights under my bumper (the $20 blue colored ones from Wallyworld). I tapped the "ign" single hot lead in the fuse block, and grounded to the chassis. Nothing fancy.
I also wired up the 1/2 gear switch so the tranny won't shift. Also, nothing fancy.
I also chopped the wires through the passenger windshield shade, which provides power for the dome lights. I have since reconnected them.
Somewhere, in doing that, I have messed up my guages, and they are all haywire now. My oil guage is pegged (infinite resistance), and so is the gas guage. The temp guage is off, and it shows no voltage on the volt meter.
Is there a common ground that I have bumped off, or what may I have done?
