Dash lights no worky
I have a 96 850. love the car but not the problems its been giving me. When i first got the car, dash lights worked fine. then one night i hit a bump and everything went dark. I can pull over, turn off the car, then re-start and everything is fine for a few days. Well the frequency of this problem has increased to the point that the lights go off within a second or two of starting the car. I've jumped the dimmer switch(pins1 and 4) and that blows the fuse, so i pulled the cluster,climate control and radio still pops the fuse. any ideas?

I dont think its the dimmer. I bypass the dimmer switch and the fuse blows.I think I have a short somewhere and i was hoping it was common enough that others have found the problem. it seems that most others have had the rheostat problem and replacing the dimmer or jumping it has fixed the problem. I however never get that lucky. when I jumped the dimmer it blows the fuse

Most definitely. So much crap in the way.
I pulled the center console to eliminate any problems there. still pops the fuse.
Anyone have any idea if there is something I missed that I can remove, thats powered by turning on the headlights?
