Truck Died Yesterday (Kinda)
Saturday I hauled my antique tractor to and from a show and I was returning the trailer that i borrowed Sunady morning. When i was slowing down to turn on a side road all my gauges in the dash went dead and i had no throttle at all but engine was idling just fine. Luckly i had enough momentum to make the turn off the main road. Well after calling my buddy to get the trailer back and my girlfriend to bring my computer and auto enginuity to me, i got to lookin at my owners manual and found a 10Amp fuse for the dash cluster, idle validation switch and a couple other things under the dash (position 19 i think), was blown. Replaced it and all was well, called off the calvery, went on my way and has been fine ever since. I have no idea what caused it. No indication there was any problem prior to the problem.
I'm stumped, any ideas would be a big help.
Thanks
