Instrument panel just died?

Hello all =D

Ok, so the other day, part of the instrument panel just died. No speedo, no voltage, no warning lights telling me it's ok to start the truck.

But, fuel guage appears to be working, as well the temp.

I checked the fuse (inst panel fuse) and it isn't blown.

Nothing happened w/ the truck that might explain it. Got in it and suddenly it wasn't 100% operational.

Any ideas?

anyone have any ideas?

ECM? Fuses other than the ones under the dash?

It seems, and maybe i'm going crazy, that my radio is losing it's memory.

Ground somehow is fouled?

Start checking grounds. The one behind the drivers headlight is a good one to start with. Also look at the back side of the fuse box and see if you have any burnt wires. Might want to look at the ing. switch and conector as well.

This might help as well. Long but good.
