URGENT: Dash Meters/Speed Sensor all dead?

[ix9]

Okay,

Just jumped in my car to go out and while waiting for the fuel pump to prime (those 3-4 seconds between ACC and ON positions) All my gauges died!

No Boost meters/No Tacho/Speedo ?

WTF?

I have replaced the "Meters" Fuse only to have it blow repeatedly?!

And to add something else to the mix... the RSM now doesn't pick up speed either! (Not sure if they're related as I thought the ECU Recieved speed from the gearbox sensors?)

Please Help anyone? I can't even go to buy more fuses as I have no speedo!

the ecu picks up sensors from the dash aswell as gearbox i think, thats why RSM not working properly.

not sure what the cauz is for the dash.

if it keeps blowing fuses sound like a dead short sumwhere. have to get out the multimeter and start buzzing to check for shorts to ground. pain in the backside.

maybe a wire is rubbing on metal and worn away the insulation.

I had this same problem after installing my new head unit like jvs007 said it will be some kind of short, in my case it was just a poor earth.
