I just had my alternator replaced and as I drove home I noticed the speedometer, RPM, Gas level and basically the entire Instrument cluster to not work. Also my windshield wipers do not work. The radio, lights and a/c all work fine. I tried to replace the #11 fuse, but when I turn the car on they immediately blow. I think it has to be wiring, but not sure where to start looking.
SOURCE: Instrument cluster failure causes fuse #29 to blow.
ok it could be quite simple
lets look at wrong size fuse
example 15 and you need a 25 fuse
also if you did any work on vehicle its quite possible that you grounded something out wrong retrace your work and fix accordingly
bad cluster relay is another problem that would cause these problems
SOURCE: Instrument cluster not working and truck wont go
The 2002 F-250 PStroke 4x4 had the instument lamps poping the fuse intermittently .
Turned out to be a wire getting pinched btween the emergency brake lever and the release stop .
Had to remove the keft kick panel and there was a yellow wire coming from the lower harness up toward the dash . the wire was pinched /hung up in the emergency brake mechanism . Good Luck
SOURCE: Blows fuses when parking lights are turned on. Headlights work fine even running lights.
If it only happens when you turn the switchto the parking lights then it is most likely the swich that is the problem. Light swich failure appears to be a common fault with fords
SOURCE: 2003 ford escape, fuse keeps blowing for door locks, radio and dome light. y
check for a shorted to ground positive wire repair as nesseacry
SOURCE: My truck keeps blowing the instrument panel fuse.
My 2002 F350 keeps blowing fuse 45. I lose the instrument cluster (all gauges) and there is no throttle response. Sounds like a wire for the od button is shorting out in the steering column. Remove the ignition switch and column shroud and look for a bare wire. be sure and look by where the boot sits. I am just looking for more info before I try it myself. Hope this works for others.
