problem #1

Apr 072009

Malibu LS 3.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 80,000 miles

The Parklamp/Running lamp fuse (F6 in trunk compartment fuse block) keeps blowing. This fuse also feeds (believe it or not), the backlight on the instrument panel cluster. When the fuse blows - no running lamps or instrument panel backlight (only the pointers light). It is annoying because the police will pull you over for this. Not to mention the fact that you can't see your speed.

Also, when the backlight is working, the dimmer does not.

DOES ANYBODY HAVE AN IDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM MIGHT BE?
