    Gauges not working (Not SI board)

    Alright,

    I have a weird problem, when I turn my car on, it starts, the coolant and fuel gauges don't work and the tach does for about 5 seconds then goes to 0. THEN the blower motor and AUX fan don't work either. Only thing that works is the speedo.


    Anyone got any ideas as to what it is, I tried tapping the relays and banging the dash.. didn't work

    Sam.

    P.S This is in my M50 car.

    fuse #10.

    i was having the same problem on my s50 car. it turns out my reverse lights were shorting #10, which also is the fuse for the instr cluster and the aux fan. i ended up unplugging my reverse switch under the shift boot, didnt pop another fuse. still havent hooked back up my reverse switch either though...

      Awesome, thanks..

      Now I need to find the short, it's probably my reverse switch also

        I had the same problem on my swapped car. Fuse #10 was blown. I found this out after replacing the si board batteries.
