1991 Camaro power short HELP?

Question

I was messing around with my B&M shifter yesterday s******g it down.. While I was doing this I had the running lights on so I could use the console light that lights up the in console light. So While I was tightening the light went out. I didnt think much of it and put all the tools away and forgot about the light. Next thing I know I am coming home that same night and hit my lights and none of my gauges light up neither does that console light and neither do my parking lights. IDK what the h**l? I replaced the fuses last night when I got home. Nothing.. I dont know where to find the short! HELP!

Answer 1

When you screwed down your B&M could you have pinched a wire somewhere?!?!?!?

Answer 2

Well.....logic dictates that you totally unscrew and remove the part you were s******g down and inspect carefully for a short there. You don't mention if the fuses were blown or not. Is there an interior light delay module that allows the lights to stay on for a few seconds after you exit the car? Probably not....it's a Camaro. I guess you should look under the car near the trans tunnel as well. Good luck.

Answer 3

you have a bare wire touching metal somewhere, some how......  this could blow a fuse, or fuses, and even if you replace the fuse, something still isn't going to work as long as the exposed wire is grounded to metal.  you have to retrace the wiring.

Answer 4

Sounds like you shorted a wire to me do as the first person said and go back and look at your work
