instrament gaugee
Re: instrament gaugee
what does that mean? are they not reading correctly? are they not working at all? Do they work sometimes and cut out at times? Does it intermittently cut off and stay off?
If the gauges don't work or they cut out intermittently, you could have a bad connection at the solder connection from the plastic connector to the circuit board. Vibrations and cold weather over time will cause cracks in the solder points to the pins on the circuit board. If you are good with a pinpoint soldering tip you can just re-solder the pins at the board. Don't add any solder just touch the solder that is already there until it liquifies and then move to the next one. What happens is the ipn will crack the solder and have a poor or bad connection at the pin. Heating the solder until it liquifies seals the crack
if the gauges don't work at all you need to get a scanner that has bi-directional controls for the cluster and see if you can do a gauge sweep. ( also check to see if you have any codes for the cluster) If it won't do the sweep do the re-solder job and check it again. If it still doesn't do the sweep test you should check the communication between the engine modules. See if you have a communication busproblem
