Default Need help pizzazz

My 05 keeps blowing the same fuse when I turn the dimmer switch up it blows the fuse to my running lights and my license plate light but when those went out so did my cluster lights and those didn't come back on and I can't find a fuse for them that blown but what I turn the **** up before it blows it almost gets darker well does get darker does anybody know anything I can do to fix it I don't know if it's the dimmer switch itself which I have one on order it should be here any day or is it something else

Most likely you have a bad ground someplace or a short in the system and you need to see if you can find that. I had an 06 GM suv and the speedometer odometer lights went out in it. I could still read the thing in the reflection. All the other things still functioned.
it might be a good time to visit a Salvage yard and find one from there. Then you can see where they are and how to remove and replace them.



Recent visit to Salvage yard you can see what is under everything.

It could very well be an issue with the switch, or a bad ground somewhere.

There's a pizza place around here called Pizzazz.

Ty I'm still trying to figure it out I went back through everything iv done to it since i have had it and realized I had wrong leds in I switched them I did find a bad fuse I didnt see so replaced all of them with the rite fuses and my running elites are working now but my cluster lights and the lights behind the heater controls still dont work. The lights for PRND321 are very very faint at nite time when they should be lit up with the cluster but during the day when the running lights are off they are super brite and can see them plane as day.
