Oldsmobile/Buick Repair: Guages dont work on 98 Olds Silhouette, amp fuse, guages


Question
My van keeps blowing a 10 amp fuse which seems to operate all of guages on the dash--speedo, tach, odometer, gas and temp guages.  Any idea what is causing it and how can I fix it?  Currently the electric door lockas and the power side door isn't working also. Thanks!

Answer
Look in the owners manual. There is a page that tells everything protected by each fuse.
See what else is on that fuse.
Then start unhooking one of the items at a time, and see what quits blowing the fuse.

Make sure to check any add-ons also, like stereo stuff, or alarm systems, to see if they were added to that same system.
