I'm gussing a bad cluster. But before you spend any money, check the wiring in the circuit. I can't do it, but maybe someone can post it.

- that circuit is designed to blow at 5 amps - sticking in a larger fuse could damage electronic components or worse. stick with the 5A, and troubleshoot the circuit. i don't have my 85 anymore, and i don't have a FSM to help with the 86 instrument cluster circuitry. NEVER STICK IN A LARGER FUSE - PERIOD!!!
