Hi bushman87,

Thank you for the donation.

All the items listed gets its power supply from the same fuse, for some it is listed as # 1 whereas other models is listed as # 11 in fuse block. If the fuse is ok, you need to check the power supply to it.

Did you use a test lamp to test for power supply?

I have checked the power supply and have power on both sides of the fuse. It is a power problem because I have put power to the signal light bulb and it works ok while uasing the ground wire from the bulb connection.

The White/Black wire supplies power to the meter cluster and also works the oil pressure, brake fluid, charge and seat belt indicators are these working?

Test the White/Black wire to hazard switch and instrument cluster for battery voltage. If the fuse is providing the power but it is not getting to the desired components, it could be due to a broken wire or loose wire connector in between.
