ok after installing a new boost gauge (mech 2 bulbs 3w each)

relise they were blown. so went out and bought news ones. this time guy said 4w each should be fine.

installed them and got everything to work.

went out for dinner in mates car, come back and show him and relise i have no cluster or parkers lights.

just this morning car sounded like it wouldnt want to start, it ok now, still sounds like it under wattage or some kind.

i now dont have the rear lights just fronts, brake lights still works, no parkers and none that work in my cluster. everything else is fine. the lil siren that alerts u that ur keys and lights are on are now dont give off the warning.

any help would be greatly appriciated PLEASE im stressing out since i only got 70 left for thsi week LOL.

Have you checked the "interior illumination" fuse yet?

I'd say you might be shorting somewhere in that new boost guage dude. Remove the wiring, then change the fuse, and leave it like that until you can check it out.

Best to use a multimeter when doing ANYTHING electrical, in my opinion. Strap the red wire on, with everything off, and then do a continuity test. If you use the multimeter on the red wire at the boost-guage end, and then use the black multimeter wire and touch part of the body, it shouldn't beep. Then put the red multimeter wire on the black wire to the boost guage, and the black multimeter wire to the body of the car, and it SHOULD beep... that tells you that you are testing on a good earth spot.
