Thread: 2000 GTP gauge power

Long story short, I lost power to all gauges as well as ABS and TRAC CTRL(system in alarm due to SC belt that burned up and hit ABS wire since the PS hose leaked)

I was driving and gauges were working with above issues until I touched the HUD position switch. At that point the TRAC CTRL, ABS, HUD, odometer, and all gauges lost power and either went to 0 such as temp, fuel, RPM, or speedo that went all the way around and is pointing straight down.

I found a temp gauge diagram on google images and it leads me to believe that all the gauges are powered off the same source. I checked all fuses and they are good. So I am only left with a ground which is not what I want to hear but I am prepared to look. I'm not so concerned with anything but the fuel gauge since I have to make a 500 mile drive back home in 2 days.

If anyone could link me to a diagram they might know of I would appriciate it greatly.

Without a book I've determined that I've lost power before the 10A I/P-IGN fuse. So that would be coming through the key since none of my lights come on when key is turned. I know my ignition has been on the fritz since the key will not always unlock when engine is turned off, but I didn't know it would do something like this. I'll keep looking but as of right now that is what I'm looking at I suppose. Cell 81 seems to be the circuit that feeds gauges and most indicator lamp +12V.
I can deal with mechanical stuff but automotive electronics can be a nightmare.
