>i could use your help....all exterior lights working. blinkers okay,
courtesy
light fine.
red ignition button comes on and hi-beam blue button as well.
i have no lights on any of my dash gauges. this is the red wire w/white
stripe
that
powers them.
rheostat VERY hot to the touch....all else works fine. any thoughts?
thanks,

Tom, you can move the Red/White wire (or the Red wire) to the spare spade
on the other terminal thereby bypassing the rheostat which should bring on
the dash lights at full brightness if the rheostat is the problem.  If you
have a short in the dash light wiring you'll blow the fuse.

Good luck
