staxx Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 If you have another similar truck swap gauge panels for the nite. Now that the old panel is smoked you could try and bypass the diode on the panel to see if everything else still works , most likely there are more burned components on the panel Good luck.

gearhead204 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 east coast not my specialty either looks like board is hosed so what happens if you break the printed circuit strip? or remove shorted gauge? you wont be wrecking any thing that isn't already hosed..

Freightrain Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 That blue disc is commonly know as a capacitor. Looks like the magic smoke got let out LOL!. Doubt anything else is actually damaged in the circuit.Glad to hear you got the truck back on the road. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................
