So i was driving and took off from a dead stop at WOT i didnt launch or anything just poped clutch at like 1K rpm like a normal take off but i had pedal to the floor all the way to 90 MPH, a little after i switch to 3rd gear.(i drive a NA). soo then i parked at a baseball field so my friend can smoke a cig.(no smokn in my car) then wen we got back in i noticed my guage cluster wasnt lit up and my headlights were on. niether were the lights for the 3 gauges above the radio and the ac/ vent knobs werent lighting up either. later i stoped at a gas station and somone told me my tailights where out also. please can any of you more experienced 3kgt owners tell me wat could have happened. and how i can fix it.

It's possible the fuse just blew as a fluke, however it's more likely that something grounded out. Have you made any changes to the interior or tail lights recently? A guy in our area had an intermittant short that was the result of some custom wiring the previous owner had done.

similar thing happened to my friends srt4. we tore it appart lookin for the problem.. turns out the plastic conecter in the steering collum had a short and melted, causeing the wires to disconnect.
I suggest after checking your fuses, you follow the wires from the switch FIRST.

Best of luck,
