    Gauge lights and gear lights won't come on
    I was recently trying to connect some neon lights under the dash. So I hot wired one to the cigarrette light and the other to a piece of metal. When I did that my gauge lights gear lights and tail lights quit working. I replaced the tail light fuse and now they work. I checked all the other fuses but they are all good... So what is wrong with my gauge and gear lights??
