I know that on my '94 Dak I used to pull out a fuse (I can't remember which
one) to keep the miles from racking up and screwing the warranty (You guys
don't work for the warranty police , do ya?) and when I pulled that one
fuse , not only does the odometer and speedo not work , but the gas , temp
, oil , and everything else wouldn't work either .

Even if you don't have a blown fuse , I would bet that you have a short
somewhere in that fuse block or in a wire going from/to it .

Just tryin to help , so don't turn me in , heh hehe
