wiring diagram
My first post. I am a semi-retired 62 year old mechanic. I am working on my son's 1997 F-150, 2 wheel drive, 4/6L truck.
He was driving it when the gauges and the tach stopped working. I replaced the cluster and it still blows the fuses.
The five amp fuse that is specifically for the cluster doesn't blow. It is a twenty five amp fuse that also power the overdrive circuit, etc.
After replacing the gauge cluster I installed a new fuse and the overdrive button on the shifter started smoking. Can anyone tell me where I could get a wiring diagram of this circuit so I can see how it is wired.
Anyone had this problem before that might offer some advise. Thanks.

The wires are chafed and are shorting where they come out of the shifter tube.
Pull the column shrouds and repair the wiring and you're done with it.
Very, very common issue with the F-series trucks. There are likely dozens of previous threads here about it.

Thanks for the response, but with all the smoke would the overdrive button on the end of the shifter be now bad.
