Rep Power: 306

Okay so all of the sudden, my guages dont light up, my ac guages, my stock cd player, and 2 3 D N R dont light up either on the shifter....also my rear tail lights dont turn on when my head lights are on. The brake lights work, but not the horse shoe lights you normaly see while driving....weird thing is though, i have auto start so when i auto start dash lights up, and all the rest of the **** as well as the tail lights, but as soon as i put the keys in the ignition to drive it all turns back off. I recently removed my indaglow guages, and had the power wire tapped into the guage cluster power wire on the big blue plug....do you think it possibly came loose? or mabey a fuse? LMK if any one else has had this problem and knows how to fix it

I would defintaly re-check my connections and then check all the fuses in the car... if you still can't find it out why it's doing what it's doing, take it to the dealership and have them trace the problem.

your dash lights are not on because it is a safety precaution, i think if your tailights go out they go out so that you are informed they have went out

2001 ex coupe 5speed - i was dropping a new radio in, and it was the only thing plugged into the dash, i also had both orange wires from the deck connected to the one illumination wire on the harness, and when i first put the lights on i smelt smoke and now my gauges are out, i checked all the fuses, and no luck...any help?
