    Gauge cluster shorting out

    86 325.......So I know this is discussed in lots of threads, but yes my cluster doesn't work, everything but the turn signals works, I have read it could be the si board, I haven't taken it out yet to see, but in my case, I put in the fuse to the cluster and it works fine everything, but my guess is I have a short in the shifter wiring, with everything working, I put the car in 1st and the cars electrical hates it, I wiggled the shifter and pop goes the fuse. Anybody have this issues and guild me to were in could be if it is in the shifter.

      Turn signals are possibly the hazard button.

      There's some ground wires around the shifter area, pull your console and look around for anything loose. Wiggle the wires and see if you can get the fuse to blow.

        Inspecting around the shifter area is the obvious start.

          Will do, I pulled the boot off, and saw some wires, but looked ok, I will take apart the console and see if i can locate the issue, I hate electrical lol, this is my project car lol.
