  • Bad ground wire.HELP PLZ

    Where can i locate the two ground wires that go to the instrument cluster on a 92 mustang gt? Im having an issue with it blowing my #4 fusewhich is a 15 amp?

        Why not just ground them somewhere else?

          I doubt its the ground.. pull the tail light bulbs and the front parking light bulbs.. see if it still blows the fuse. Might have a bad socket.

              13 is the fuse for the instrument cluster lights. My guess the the power wires to the lights has melted and is shorting out. Working on the harness sucks.. could be the mater light switch too.

                A bad ground won't cause the fuse to blow. Sounds more like a direct short somewhere in the cluster circuit.

                  Yup. Direct short. Those are easy to find when its active and not intermittent. Do you have a meter with a tone setting?! Follow it to the grounded wire thats causing it to short.
