Dash lighting issue
Ok, i need some help. I tied my gauge lighting into the fuse for my dash lighting, and i blew the fuse (4 amp) so i went to the auto parts store and got a five amp, thinking i needed a little more. I put the fuse back in, and now my gauge lighting, dash lighting, and my taillights dont work. the fuse did not blow again. Any ideas on how to fix?
Thanks,
Dan

I don't have the owner's manual with me, but there's typically a fuse for the parking light circuit, which feeds the taillights / parking lights, and also feeds the dash light circuit. It's that upstream fuse (possibly marked PARK) that's probably the one that's blown.
And generally, be careful about just throwing in a higher-capacity fuse. The fuse protects the circuit wiring, which may not be rated for the higher current.
