Cluster fuse blows when connected
2006 f150 stx 4.6 v8, 160k.
Hey all, first post here .
So I just got this truck used. it runs great after plugs and coils, and a power steering line replaced.
Then the cluster died .
So I replace the fuse, and it did good for a while, but now when I replace the fuse it blows immediately .
The black with green wire is not shorted, and the cluster only blows when I attach the left side connections on top of the cluster itself . The right side let's it power up .
I've attached a link to a video so you can see what I mean.
The cluster itself is new salvage from a running perfect truck that got read ended .
If I have ruled out a short in the black/green, and the cluster itself isn't broken, why is my fuse still blowing?! I must be shorted somewhere else but I dont know which wires(if any) are supposed to carry voltage when the connector is disconnected.
Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks!
