The bottom fuse in the panel was blown (25A)I replaced it and everything is back to normal (for now)Don't know why it blew but I'll consider some of your replys for troubleshooting if it happens again.
It looks like the schematic shows that circuit going back to the starter but I can't be certain (it's difficult to track the schematic lines), Maybe I'll take the Schem down to Alpagraphics and have them blow it up and I can wallpaper one side of my garage with it.
I would recommend three things:
1) yes, take the large wiring schematic .jpg file from Pantera Place down to a print shop and have it blown up to 18" x 24" or greater. This will cost you less than $5. You can then use a ruler to trace the run for every wire in your car. This is a MUST!
2) buy the ATO Fuse panel from Pantera Electronics. Don't ask why (there are too many reasons) ... just do it!
3) once you've spent some time with the wiring schematic, you should run new wires for each gauge: to each sending unit in the engine bay, create a new ground post under the dash and also run a new +12v wire to the new fuse panel. I can help you with this on a step-by-step level if need be as I just completed the same work over the winter. Some of the work was chronicled on my work-in-progress BLOG.
Good luck!
