Hey people(to the auto-electricians mostly), well here is my problem(i own a ke25 with a 4age):
I bought a thermo fan today and before i started to put it in i needed to find a wire which came from the ignition. So i searched for one finding what i believed to be the radio or cigar lighter(the wire was loose, and i don't have a radio in my car).. I got the multi-metre out and made sure it had power just from ignition and not direct battery power either.. So once i knew it had ignition power i was about to make sure i didn't need it for something else when it hit some metal. A spark came up and i thought i mmust have blown a fuse.. So i checked the fuse panel and all looked fine with no breaks or anything.. SO i thought that was weird, so i made sure my car started, it did... BUT i had no instruments... THe dash lights are gone, petrol gauge is gone, same with temp gauge, same with battery light and oil light... But the switches for driving lights, windscreen wipers, indicators(left side is good, but right side stays on instead of flicking on and off) and horn work...
So my problem is nothing with the dash is working and i got no idea what it is.. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP...
Michael
