Center console

Today wasnt a very good day should have never touched the Evo . The back lighting on one of my Autometer gauges has been going on and off and when off if you hit around the gauge cluster it comes back on. So I go and replace the crappy connectors I had with splices but while doing so I notice my wideband and boost gauge are no longer on and to top it off my radio and clock are also off . Did I blow a fuse or do all these connect to the same place and I just loosened it while tugging on the wires? Aftermarket gauges are connected to factory gauge wiring and radio is relocated to the bottom and gauges above a/c. I was to pissed off to continue so just put everything back together since I have to goto work tomorrow.

very hard to diagnose electrical problems since no one knows what you touched. the easiest thing to do is check the fuses for the dash. iuno which ones, so u gotta look it up. if its blown replace, it could be that simple.

or they are all connected to the same power wire (ignition on) and it got loose. only way to know is to check the wiring. good luck

Multiple electrical failures usually results in a blown fuse.

Never do anything electrical without the battery disconnected.

Luckily it was just a fuse, 22 or 23 cant remember which one. Found it shorting out on the crappy light bulb holder the Autometer gauges come with.

Disconnecting the battery literally takes 30 seconds.
