Fuse #46
 
As I was driving to the grocery store today, I noticed the fuel and temp gauges going up and down. My first thought was......crap, I'm starting to have electrical issues. When I got home, I opened the hood and checked the fuses and looked for instrument cluster and it showed it had four (4) fuses: 23, 27,31 and 46.
Everyone of them looked fine except for #46, it had blown. It apparently uses a pretty high fuse: 25amps (yellow). So, I replaced it and the gauges started working again. Anyone ever experienced this?

I have had this problem a couple of times. About two years ago I had numerous fuses blowing on a daily basis. It just stopped after a while. But fuse #46 will also make you brake lights not light up when stopping.

Yes, I found that out........brake lights, temp and fuel gauges, no wonder it needed 20Amp fuse. I just replaced it with a 25Amp fuse.

That's pretty standard. Most shops charge 50-60 bucks an hour with a minimum of 1hr. Figure troubleshooting, paperwork and whatnot. A dealership would've charged over a hundred an hour. I bet if you would have asked for an invoice, they would've been a little embarrassed since all they could put on it was "located blown fuse, removed and replaced fuse with new one. Parts-$0.25 Labor-$49.75":tongue: Yeah a nice mechanic would've done it for free, but people/business' gotta pay them bills:cool:
