You need to find what your trip thru the water and snow shorted out, and fix it. I know it sounds easier than it will be, but that is the answer.The 10A Gauge fuse controls a lot more than the gauges, as you've found out.

Thanks for the reply, weather has been crap here in N AZ, I am totally blown away by how much goes thru the Gauges Fuse. Some engineers bright idea. Had foujnd the exact same problem on another board, poor sucker never got an answer. With so much going thru the fuse I can't even figure out where to start. Where is the best spot to start disconnecting circuts to isolate? The Haynes manual is useless.

Thanks, have searched the board and can't find squat. Numerous quotes on how good the Haynes Manual is, how can anyone consider a Haynes manual anything besides crap. I would greatly appreceate any links to a FSM. Thought I had it down to a Wiper motor, but still blows the fuse.
