When I said "while hooking up a roof mounted spotlight", I think I misled you. he wasn't installing the spot light set up, he was simply hooking the spot light to the pre-existing set up (the handle and wiring was already there, he just removes the spotlight when not in use). He said one of his mates was hooking it up and it earthed out on the car which blew the fuse? What I really need to know, is do all of the instruments I mentioned work off the same fuse? I wont purchase the vehicle until the problems are fixed, Id just like to know for the sake of my own knowledge. The vehicle already has rego and a pink slip on it. Thanks heaps for your replies. I hope what I am saying is making sense. I'm only 17 and I'm trying to gain my own knowledge basis rather than relying on dad (in this situation, he is also unsure) Cheers, Aaron.

Gday, This is my first post on here, I really hope this is in the correct spot! Here's my question, I went and looked at a 1990 SR5 hilux on the weekend. the battery gauge, fuel gauge, temperature gauge, oil pressure gauge, taco and aircon all didn't work, I was told this is because of a wiring short that occurred while hooking up a roof mounted spot light (the wiring short blew a fuse). Are all of these things on the same fuse and is it as simple as putting in a new fuse to fix the problem? Any help will be muchly appreciated! Cheers, Aaron.
