Electrical Issues

[12vfleet]

The 96 dodge 2500 I have set up for pulling has no electric going to the cab for gauge cluster in the dash or the interior lights and I cannot figure out why. The electronic windows and locks still work. My autometers I have still work. (egt's, boost, fuel pressure, oil pressure, and water temperature) They worked when I loaded the truck the night before and when I unloaded it at the pull. Somewhere in between weighing in and goin to the line, I lost the electric goin to the cab. Is there a relay for the whole cab that I am missing?

After about four hours of elimination, I found the culprit of the problem. Thread closed.

So what was it?

The bottom metal clip that holds the stock plastic pillar on rubbed through the insulation on the wire for the pillar gauge lights and was shorting out. Got rid of the clip, rewired it and everything is fine now. Ready to pull again saturday.
