electrical/wiring help needed

[juliemac57@hotmail.com (Julie Macfarlane)]

Thats the dash light wire. It comes from the back of the headlight switch 
and runs all the lamps on the dash as well as the gauges in the center 
console.
Start from the switch and work out wards to the dash and the console.
It is definately a short some place.
Good luck!

Julie
