Gauge Cluster

  1. If more than one gauge or indicator light is inoperative, check appropriate fuse in fuse block module. Fuse block module is mounted to left dash panel, to left of steering column. If fuse is not okay, replace faulty fuse. If fuse is okay, go to next step.
  2. Turn ignition switch to ON position. Using a voltmeter, check for battery voltage at appropriate fuse in fuse block module. See WIRING DIAGRAM  . If battery voltage does not exist, repair open circuit to battery. If battery voltage exists, go to next step.
  3. Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Disconnect negative battery cable. Remove instrument cluster bezel and cluster assembly. See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Disconnect gauge cluster connector. Connect negative battery cable.
  4. Turn ignition switch to ON position. Using a voltmeter, check for battery voltage at gauge cluster connector terminal A8 (White/Black wire). See Fig 1 . If battery voltage does not exist, repair open in White/Black wire. If battery voltage exists, go to next step.
  5. Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Disconnect negative battery cable. Using an ohmmeter, check for continuity between gauge cluster connector terminal A3 (Black wire) and chassis ground. If no continuity exists, repair open in Black wire. If continuity exists, go to next step.
  6. Using an ohmmeter, check for continuity between gauge cluster connector terminal B2 (Black/Light Green wire) and chassis ground. If no continuity exists, repair open in Black/Light Green wire. If continuity exists, replace faulty gauge cluster printed circuit board.
