Description & Operation

Battery voltage is fed to the instrument cluster through METER (10-amp) fuse, located in fuse box. Indicator lights and gauges are active when the ignition switch is in ON or START position. Indicator lights and gauges receive signals from either a switch or variable resistance sending unit.

WARNING: Deactivate air bag system before performing any service operation. See DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM article in ELECTRICAL. DO NOT apply electrical power to any component on steering column without first deactivating air bag system. Air bag may deploy.

NOTE: Anytime battery cables are disconnected from battery and then reconnected, theft deterrent system will operate (horn may sound and emergency lights may flash for about 3 minutes). To disarm system, insert ignition key and turn key to ACC position.
