Gauge screwed?
 
i took out my gauge cluster so i could put on my indiglos and then when i put it all back together in the car it didn't work properly. The problem is that right before i turn the car over the needle on the speedo moves up to 60km/h. Why would this be and can i fix it?

almost seems like it has a short and is connecting voltage to the speedo section when the car is turned to "on" or acc

well i looked at all the wires and i guess two of them were touching and now they don't work at all. The needles won't move at all. Any thoughts?

Probably killed a fuse.
Move them back to where theyre supposed to be, find the fuse for the cluster and replace it if blown. Give that a shot

Which fuse is it on the diagram?

pdiggitydogg 04-18-2005 10:06 PM

is your vss secure?

sideshow775 04-18-2005 10:56 PM

Yea i looked under the hood and their is no fuse their either? It is wierd because all of the lights work but the needles are all towards the bottom.

so far i haven't had a problem with my ebay special indiglo gauges....i got 'em a while back, when i went through my "ricer" phase and as of now i'd rather get sport the stock ones....

is there anyway to fix this problem. i think this is why its not working. One of the bronze pieces that carry the main power throughout the gauges broke and their is a gap between it.

You can try some conductive paint (radio shack might have it), but there is no guarantee that will work.

might as well just buy a new board. i know i had a short in it a while ago in my teg and i had to replace the thing.

A drop of solder might work....

ebpda9 04-29-2005 02:20 PM

i tried that too, but it didn't work that great. i made more damage than fix things lol

pdiggitydogg 04-29-2005 02:40 PM

Id think that'd melt the backing first
