Lost cluster and hvac lamp?? Help!!!
Like the title say, I wanted to change one of the light in my gauges but when I plugged the new one, I lost the light on the cluster and HVAC.
It was at night and was supposed to work but didn't and I looked for the fuse but can't find the one for that (if there's one) The fuse 10 (HVAC) and 27 (interior light) were ok.. my dome light work well.
HVAC and cluster work ok but no light....any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!

I plugged my gauge on the dimmer switch for lighting but don't remember if it control the hvac lighting, does it???
I didn't look there, maybe my connection broke...I'll look tomorrow but other idea welcome!!! My gauges worked by the way, only the light stopped working.

Ok, the Parking light fuse in the underhood fuse box was fried, replaced it but also fried as soon as I turned the key on. I blew 6 fuses!!!
If it is fried, when the low beam goes on at night, is it normal that my flasher doesn't light up? they work as flasher but are not on with the lowbeam as suppose when the fuse isn't fried.
I know that my dash console and HVAC won't light up but the flasher, are they suppose to be down too at night?
I want to be sure and I haven't founded yet the problem but should be my gauges connection (voltmeter and oil pressure). I will check them tomorrow as I tried changing led bulbs I've put at other place yesterday with regular bulb but didn't fix my problem. And stupid winter at -20C doesn't help! lol
Hope that the fuse caused the flasher problem too, waiting for your help! thanks!!!!

Ok, I unplugged the power to my gauges lighting and it"s still frying fuses..I checked all the connections and they looked ok.
.I had a accident 2 weeks ago, my front passenger headlight got broken and I changed it (gen 3 projector, I changed both headlight to new gen 3). Everything worked great until 2 days ago.
I looked at my passenger headlight today and thought I found the problem. I saw that the car harness for the flasher had 3 wires opened. I fixed it and thought it was my burning fuse problem but no, still blew 2 fuses...
The driver one looked ok and I even looked at my taillight (I changed the backing light too 2 days ago, I gave it a look too) but didn't find anything.....again!
I don't know what to look next...any help again please!!!

Stupid question maybe but could LED backup light bulb that i put be the problem??? They worked in reverse but looked at the electric wiring diagram and saw the brown wire (from park lamp) going to it so MAYBE that can cause the problem,
Any info will be gladly appreciated! Thanks!
