If you have 4 15 amp fuses in your dash light circuit, you might as wire them direct for all the good they would do.

I reckon a 10 amp fuse should regulate all of them OK.

I'm thinking you may consider taking your car into a auto electrical shop and have them straighten it out.

Also, you should find out what drained the battery and fix that situation.

Did you hear about the ol boy from Washington that was out hunting with his buddy in his old pickup truck. It was getting dark and the headlights wouldn't work. His buddy suggested he check the fuse. He did, found out it blew. His buddy suggested he insert a .22 shell in the fuse slot, so he did.

About 2 miles down the road, a shot rang out and the .22 round hit his buddy in the leg. His buddy shouted out - I meant for you to put a spent shell casing in the fuse slot!
Haha! Thanks for the hospitality! Yeah I was running the gauges and and all the electrical systems in my car for around an hour which is probably why. Well, that and the fact she's been on jack stands for the past week and a half. I emailed Glowshift whom I purchased the gauges from and they recommended a 5 amp fuse and a 15 for the add-a-fuse slots. Odd how that wasn't on the instructions so I didn't know.
