So this problem started when I was wiring in the lights on some gauges. I spliced into the brown wire that goes to the cluster and then grounded the gauge lights on the center dash. I tested to see if my gauge lights worked and they did, but my dash lights stopped working. This concerned me so I disconnected the gauge lights. I then noticed that my headlights stopped working. When I turn my headlights on, the high beam dash light stays illuminated. When I pull on the turn signal stalk to turn on the high beams, I can hear the relay under the hood click very loudly. I thought that I may have blown out the main relay that is located in the center dash under the air vents. I replaced it, but didn't solve the problem. This is on a 1991 volvo 240. I'm not really sure where to start searching for a short. Could I have blown something in the gauge cluster that could cause the headlights to not work? Someone help point me in the right direction please.
