All Gauges EXCEPT the speedo stopped working..
So last night we had our Massachusetts meet and every thing was going fine. after the meet i got home, shut off the car, went back outside to leave again and when i started it up all the gauges in the factory s4 cluster stopped working. normally if it was just one, i would think nothing of it other being normal rx7 operation, but when they all went except the speedo, i found it kind of strange. anyone have any suggestions?

OK just got home from work.. before i went i replaced the blown meter fuse like you noted Kevin. but after like 5 seconds of running time it blew again.. so where should i start checking for shorts?
also, since the fuse went, the car hasn't been idling well. I know for S5's the cluster had to be plugged in or it simply won't start, so i figure that my new idle problem is due to the blown fuse.. any thoughts on that?

didn't have a chance to get into anything today but I did find out that the lights for the havc (is that what it's called?) stopped working and the fans are only blowing on like half power. and the auxiliary electric fan is now on all the time, even when the car is dead cold..

I checked page 50-12 pf the wiring diagrams and there are 2 wires... all the wires for that middle row of 5 fuses meet up into one wire labeled as 1. the second wire on the other side of the fuse meets up with the 10a and 15a fuses on either side of the 7.5 meter fuse. that group of wires go to the ignition switch into IG1
1) where does the 1 wire go? it goes somewhere unspecified with wires A 2 S and B
2) which side is the voltage side?

Problem fixed. turned out like you said Kevin, that it was the reverse/backup-light sensor in the tranny. got under the car enough to wiggle the wires around and that seemed to fix the problem. next time i get the car up on the lift i will clean up the area a little better and re wrap any cracked wires. coincidently, my friend had the same exact problem on his t2. he just eliminated the sensor completely.
