Voltmeter Issue

[topgun217]

After replacing the dash bulbs and dash panel, I accidently touched the voltmeter to something and it sparked and now will not work. I know, "always disconnect the batteries when working on electrical", but I had a brain fart. I remember reading somewhere how to do a simple "fix" but I can't find it anywhere.

Can anyone assist me with this? Thanks in advance!

Look at the bottom most fuse.

Thanks Doghead ! My brain is recovering, still hurts though. must have been the energy surging from the truck to my brain. Why is it the simplest things drive us crazy?

It's the amps that will kill ya...

I'm such a D.A. I only looked at the fuses, since it didn't look blown I put it back in. Now that I replaced it (like I should have to begin with) everything is hunkey dory in Pleasantville!

Thanks once again Doghead
