gage cluster problems

[mike-hkc]

so it all began i was driving to the 626 meet and along the way my dad keeps hitting bumps and then the cluster when off . but when i put my alarm on it lights up but not when i the head lights are on

bad wiring... recheck it

mine does the same thing but its really intermittent, is it possibly a ground? went through all the dash wiring and it all seems fine. Maybe on the cluster itself like a diode or something?

If it lights up when you put you alarm on... thats just bad wiring. If it goes off when you hit a bump, then you have a loose connection somewhere.

Next time it goes off, check the power and grounds at the connector. that will tell you if its the cluster or the wiring.

cool thanks guy's. but now my tail lights don't turn on with head lights and the front signals don't turn on as well

check your wire harness too in the driver side fender...

nope...you blew a fuse, and before that, you blew your light timer box, its the white one, very obvious when you take the driver kick panel off. Take it out, if you know how to solder, then find the black blown circuit on the board inside the white box and your done!!! haha, also, make sure that your radio wiring is done and you used a 5$ radio harness from autozone.
