OH OH

Today I took apart the instrument cluster to change the bulbs on the gauges I installed in back into the car and now my gauges dont work(the light goes on but they don't move), radio doesnt work, clock doesnt work, sunroof doesnt work, the door lights dont come on, And the battery light on my dash is now RED. I never diconnected the battery when I was doin this process so may I have blown a fuse of some kind or is it worst.

go check all your fuses and your fusible links (box near battery/intake, under hood)

harbor freight should still be open. they are cheap, and invaulable. they pay for theirselves in like... a minute or two.

tho granted you can check fuses and such with just the naked eye.

don't trust your eyes. a test light or meter gives a true picture. not all fuse breaks are noticeable.
