Gauge Cluster Lighting Issues

[Ches7911]

For some reason my lights quite working on my gauge cluster. I only had a few of the bulbs placed in the right spot, so I made my way under the dash to get all the lights in the correct spots only to be severely disappointed to find all the lights not working now.

A few things I have done in the past 48 hours were replace the stock steering wheel with an after market. And disconnect the ammeter to reroute the light bulbs, then replace the ammeter in the proper loops. Any suggestions?

Check the short fuse.

short fuse looks good. Still playing with the issues. Nothing has come about yet.

The socket grounds to the gauge cluster. Usually the ground is the issue. check the lead in the socket for 12v., and check and make sure the socket itself is getting a ground.

Good looking fuses are nice, I guess. Getting any current through it? If you get good voltage on both sides you have current.

Viperwolf1 and Mark - It was an oversight I could kick myself for. I needed slack in the wiring harness to get the lines in correct position, so I unbolted the main ground. Somewhere between the cramping up under the dash and the reassembly of the lights, I never put the main harness ground to dash back on. I guess I am in such a hurry to have this thing back on the road. Sorry for wasting your time and thanks for the help.
