Guages Dont Work HELP!!!!

[BJ91T]

Just put the motor back in and have it running (well except for that damn oil leak) And the only things on my cluster that work are Door open light, battery light, and the cluster will light up (headlights on). But thats it no tach no oil press no temp fuel just kinda sits at 1/4 what is up????



thanks in advance

there is a small plug on the harness that goes over to the dash. are you sure you have that plugged in? its on the main engine harness and plugs in near the ecu.

 

[BJ91T]

i will check i hope thats all it is

 

[BJ91T]

Nope looks like all of the plugs are together, Not sure if this is related or not but my climate control dosent work ... any other ideas????

CC and gauges are both powered from the 7.5A gauge fuse. Otherwise it could be a bad ground. Test for continuity at the gauge and the CC harness, follow it back.


Oh, you might want to just replace the fuse, sometimes they can fail without it being obvious.

 

[BJ91T]

if the fuse failed the cluster should be 100% dead right??? or will the door light and batt light still work ????

 

[TheAmazingDave]

check the fuse, don't make excuses.

 

[BJ91T]

i just checked every 7.5 fuse under the dash 1 was crap i replaced it and nothing changed

 

[dbsupra90]

did you recheck it after replacing? it may have blown again if you have an issue w/ the wiring.

 

[BJ91T]

are there any grounds that affect the gauge cluster under the hood?? or is the cluster grounded within the cabin??

 

[hock2k5]

I kinda have the same problem as well...

 

[CRE]

The cluster is grounded inside the cabin. And yes, there are a couple dummy lights that are wired in separately from the 7.5A gauge fuse.

Did you recheck the replaced fuse?

Hock2k5, either you have the same problem or not... what's up?

 

[hock2k5]

my boost, fuel and oil pressure do not work..i have a jdm engine that was swapped, and i bought the car this way

My boost guage just sits at 0, and fuel and oil pressure just stay all the way at the bottom.

 

[CRE]

Well, I can tell you that you need to swap in an oil pressure sender from a US MKIII to fix that gauge. As for the other two it could be bad senders. Test them as detailed in the TSRM, and then check the wiring.

hey I think dbsupra90 had it right. All of the problems you are describing have the common connector that is under the dash behind the ECU.

Connector M1

Sorry if you have already checked it but sometimes I find things wrong even though ive checked them twice.....

 

[fiyota]

Hmm, don't just check the 7.5a fuses.. somebody could have replaced one of them with a stronger one if they where having an issue with the fuse blowing all the time... first I would find out exactly which fuse it is by using the reference chart on the back of the kickpanel

 

[BJ91T]

my car is missing that cover anyone have a picture of one so i could see what fuse it is??
