    What did I bump?

    I've been putting my car back together after a trip to the body shop, and have it pretty close to fully buttoned up.

    I've got the interior back in, and when I turned the car on to turn the wheels so I could access the inner fender bolts, I noticed the tach, speedo and clock were no longer working. Also, the dome lights, but I think those may have just burned out from the doors being open...

    Everything worked when I drove it home from the shop (other than the domes, which I didn't notice either way). I have not touched any of the cars electronics purposely, except for two small things.

    1) I retaped all this stuff back together with friction tape and tucked it back down in the groove along the sill before I put the carpet in:



    I'm assuming this is the main harness and whatever else is piggy-backed to it. If this was the problem I'm figuring I'd have a whole lot else wrong.

    2) The only other area I've contacted was the under dash wiring. Some of it was hanging down (pretty sure it was just the door chime harness, which I have disabled) and I simply tucked it back up before replacing the knee bar.

    Since #2 is in the general vicinity of my problem, I'm guessing this is my issue. The question is, what did I do, and how do I fix it?

    That is not even close to a main harness, that is just main battery cable.

    Main harnesses run down the left side, in that same channel.

    Check panel and domelights both use fuse 21 (7.5A)

    The IP uses fuse 12 (7.5A), fuse 10 (7.5A) and again, fuse 21 (7.5A)

    Check those 3, fuse 21 first. Remember, eyeballs cannot test voltage on a circuit: use a testlight to check to see if the fuse has voltage and see if the fuse is blown.

    GL!

                If I open a shop again, it will be BMW electrical repair primarily.

                Thanks, dewd.
