    So yesterday I stopped to get fuel shut the turn off turned it back on and parked it for my 10 hours went to the sleeper to get my things ready for a shower when I was going to shut the truck off I notice my gauges weren't operating.
    had the following symptoms

    Dash lights come on the speedometer and rpm gauge, rpm do show correctly when running

    All others gauges no lights or no function

    Gauges did not cycle when key turned on

    Info screen above the speedo and rpm gauge worked but the select wheel would not change the information

    On roll F there is 2 cecu pwr 15 a fuses side by side to the far right my truck keeps blowing the right one.
    Another thing I've noticed was the relay IGN BUS RELAY and the ACCOUNT BUS RELAY where warmer than all other fuses.
    This morning I took the dash apart looking to see if there was maybe a lose wire but didn't see any.
    Any information would be much appreciated.

    Your harness has been working too hard, all hot and bothered. You did more than 90% of dimwit drivers will... touching them to see if it hurts or not.

    The 90% of dimwits will just take the RPM and Speedo as the two main gauges needed to run the big truck, all the rest of it is hooey and BS to them. IF they are particularly slow in orientation, a smart company cookie will paint primary bright coloers on the tach to help them out.

    If you're blowing a fuse immediately, the wire coming off that fuse or something attached to that circuit after the fuse is grounded out or shorted. Or someone added in an extra accessory to that circuit that the wiring can't handle.

    (In response to the recent post, not the ones from 2016)
