Blown fuse?

I start the vehicle, everything works fine then all of a sudden my dash lights go off along with my tail/brake and side marker lights.. The headlights still worked (thank god!)

This happened at 3am after I closed the bar I manage down on NYE with cops thick as flies out and about but luckily I still managed to shuttle my drunken buddies home in the C-Dub without getting hassled

Just a blown fuse? Like I said, the only light that seems to be working is my headlights, and high beems. The high beem light is the only dash light that is working

Replaced fuse, fuse blew again. Only seems to happy if I mess with my heater controls? Also only started with the snow and wetness I have had in my area.. Possible short?

Re: Blown fuse?

There is a bulb and wire in the heater control Check an see if it is pinched or frayed May be shorting when you move heater levers Should be a single grey wire

Short to ground, yes. Try replacing the fuse with a test lamp, then move the heater controls around (or anything else that might affect it). If the test light comes on bright, that's when the fuse would blow. Dim or no test light = no short.
