Best way to get to the fuse box.
On my 1984 Chevy Silverado all the dash lights quit working and also the oil pressure gage now is not working. They worked just fine after I installed the LED bulbs. Put in OE blubs in turn signal and they work fine. Is this a fuse problem and what is the best way to change bad fuse? "Also the clock quit". Thanks

Re: Best way to get to the fuse box.
I would check the ground first. The fuse box is just a matter of getting down under the dash and looking. It could also be your printed circuit on the back of the cluster.

Where would I find the ground? It seems the older I get, the harder it is to figure this out myself.

Re: Best way to get to the fuse box.
With the dash lights (LED) all stop working together and also the oil pressure and clock stop at the same time. Turn signal has new OE blubs installed and they work fine. I know where the fuse box is but just can not get to the fuses to check them out. Does this sound like one bad fuse or ground as TKCR said? The LED's did all work when I first tried them out and also the clock and oil pressure gage worked fine.

Your going to have to take some parts off to get to the fuse box. The air vent tube blocks it. Also, the left vent and bezel. The ground is on the side wall where the air vent is. Here’s a pic, it’s hard to see because I have some sound proofs in there.
For the fuse, I can’t remember, your going to have to look up the schematics. But I believe the clock runs separately from all those other parts you said aren’t working now. My truck is tore apart right now, so if you need better pics. |

Re: Best way to get to the fuse box.
Thanks TKCR but I have not changed any fuses so I should have all the right fuses. I have had this truck for the last six years. Thanks for the help.

Re: Best way to get to the fuse box.
If you put some cardboard on the ground and kneel on it you can get to the fuses in the fuse panel pretty easily leaning into the cab.
If you need to get to the wiring in the back it gets a little more exciting but not too bad. The instrument panel grounds are attached to the LH kick panel above the Parking Brake Pedal assembly. The early rigs have a ring terminal on a screw. The later trucks have a buss bar with 1/4 disconnect tabs. |

OK, thanks

Re: Best way to get to the fuse box.
It might be as said the printed circuit board or the printed circuit board main plugin was not tight or got pop out. The grounds. first one on the cab is on a side of the left under dash near the headlight switch about 35% angel A-Pillar, make sure there not rust on them or lose. The head light grounds rad support near the back side of the head lights, batt to frame rail by batt. The pass side block to cab at rear of motor (all v8). The rear lights I forget what side box, as I had a flat bed for so long. The gas tank sending unit to the frame truck trans side of the tank.

Dont led lights need a special no load flasher? I have only used them for aux lighting, and not bulb replacement.

Re: Best way to get to the fuse box.
One thing to remember about LED bulbs is they are polarity sensitive. They must go in the correct format. At least mine did. I had to figure out polarity of the bulb and the polarity of the circuit board. Not sure if you had a bunch in wrong if it wound effect the whole grounding circuit or not. I tend to think its a combination of that and something deteriorated in the grounding section of the circuit board on the back of you gauge cluster. If it is original it probably has a crack or too in it.

I be leave if you electronic flasher with the( board in it) for 8 or 10 lights you should be ok( for towing). I read that some where years ago. If some double check that to confirm.
