    hello, I have s 2000 379 that developed a strange problem. I lost tack speedo whipers and blower motor. Volt gauge as well. It would creep back up I’d get gauges back then as soon as I put a load on it i would loose everything ie turn on whiper. Any ideas thanks

    Small panel left of steering wheel behind that is a breaker when you turn the key on it clicks that turns everything on gauge wise that comes on with the key.
    had the same problem,had some loose wires back there .
    Actually I think the wire that went from my key to that breaker was grounding out was my problem .
    Turned off my gauges heater blower I’ll kinds of things !!

    Bad ground? Truck is 20 years old. I'd run another wire from the cab to the frame, see if that helps.
