I have a stock 1990 5-speed GT w/ 110k mikes. I no longer have lighting across my intrument cluster, heater/air conditioning knobs, or ashtray. I tried playing with the dimmer switch, but that didnt work. I figured it was a fuse, and I found fuse #13 (5amp) to be blown. So i replaced it and the new 5 amp fuse which blew as well. I tried a 10 amp fuse which didnt blow but caused fuse #4 (15 amps) to blow. I replced #4 and I was back to the original problem. In the car's manual, it says both fuses contol the "Intrument Cluster Illumination Lamps".

Has any one else had the same/similiar problem? Please advise beacuse electrical diagnosis is my worst area. Thanks.
