In my '95 diesel with 225,000 miles coming back from bringing the dog to PT for his knees I decide to stop and buy some more dog food. I take the exit and notice my gas gauge, oil pressure gauge, temp gauge and tach are dead.

the only thing that works is the speedo. I figure that I blew a fuse for the dash and the speedo is mechanical.

well I decide to shut the car off instead of let it idle and it is dead upon coming back out. no juice to the starter - just this buzzing noise coming from the box behind the fuse box in the engine bay on the drivers side firewall.

I got it towed to my local garage so I couldn't look at it yet. is there a high voltage fuse back there that blew?

I love that the car still ran even with no electrical juice i'm kicking myself for shutting it off.

thanks!
Dave
