So the last week I re-wired everything in my car. The came with 2 GReddy gauges that were T-Tapped into the clock for switch 12volt lighting/illumination. Today I wiring my 3 Autometer sport-comp gauges and Innovate DB-gauge to the same switch 12 volt source for lighting. When it got dark, I turned on the headlights on and off to see if all the gauge lit up, which they did. About 30 minutes later I when to go for a drive, and none of the gauges lit up anymore, than I notice my speedometer wasn't lit either. I checked my fuses until the dash and they check out ok. I also check my interior light dimming switching, and that seems good also. I don't know what else to check? Does anybody have another lead to check?

You probably have a short to ground where you taped into the circuit. Check your wiring job.

Do your tailights work?

If not, replace the red ten amp fuse that's two in from the fender in the engine compartement fuse box.
