Thanks again, but sorry no luck! Would the ignition switch cause the gauges not to work?

I am afraid I will have to admit defeat... It'll towed to someone who can troubleshoot further than I without causing more issues... Thanks to all that have helped to contribute!

was the left turn signal one of the sockets you replaced? Could be the source of your short.

Pulled the left turn signal out and the socket had burn marks on it and had shorted out causing the light to stay constantly. Also threw the fuse on the gauges causing the gauges to die. That was caused by a short in the (+) getting smacked by the washer rack pinching the wire between the heat shield and bottom of the care. Therefore, causing me a world of head aches and wasted hours of tracking things that didn't need to be tracked.... a

All said and done, it was a simple fuse and pinched wire. Nothing makes you fee like a dumb ass like a pinched wire and bad fuse...

Thanks for your help!

glad you got it figured out....at least it was something cheap to fix.

[bhunter0830]

Thanks, I am too. I was almost hoping it was something else so I didn't have to pay another set of eyes to figure it out. At lease I was on the right track he said and saved him the 20 steps I already did! Thanks again for all your help!

Glad it was a easy fix. Besides automatic transmissions I look at electrical like it's voodoo.

Never know exactly what the problem is and it takes serious time to track it down and fix.

[bhunter0830]

Amen to that! Glad to have it back I'm the road! I cursed at every LS car on the road this weekend!
