97 GMC Yukon Dash Light Fuse Keeps Blowing Out

“Hi, my ’97 Yukon dash light fuse keeps blowing out. I’m assuming there is a short in the system. What steps should I take to pinpoint my electrical short? Your help is greatly appreciated…Thanks!”

Since the dash light fuse keeps blowing, somewhere in that system you have a short. Tracing down shorts is a REAL pain, as they can be anywhere, and taking apart all the dash can be messy. BUT, in my experience with those Yukons, normally such a problem is in the actual dash unit that comes out as one piece. I never personally fix them myself, I remove the dash unit and take them to a local speedometer radio shop that repairs them. They normally charge between 100 and 160 dollars to fix the dashes. They have all the equipment to trace down a short and know exactly what to look for. A new dash is a small fortune, so nobody replaces them new.
