I've checked both front and back connections for the signal, nothing pops out that looks suspicious. No exposed wires, nothing untoward that I can see. Front was a bit dirty and back was pretty clean almost new looking.

I replaced the fuse (again) allowed the gauges to all come up and punched up the right turn signal and all gauges fell. So I think that pretty much narrows it down, ya think?

Where would you look next for the short?

Thanks!
