    1979 Trans Am - Dash Lights Not Working?

    After a few minutes of getting inconsistent readings, I tested the fuse for continuity. It turns out it was the fuse. I feel like a dummy; I know better. If you know this fuse, it's a small 4amp fuse. It's hard to tell whether it's good or bad. I can't believe it. I made the...
