Hello everybody. I'm having a wierd problem with my guage cluster. The lights work but only the speedo works...duh...cable driven. I checked and replaced all fuses. Everything looks good. They still didnt work. I then took out my multimeter and started checking for voltages. When I took out my meter fuse the beep beep beep sound started going off because i had my lights on. Keep in mind the ignition was on but the car was off at this point. Any ideas what that might be. I'm guessing a short from behind the fuse block. Could someone give me a couple of pointers for this or am I destined for doom?? Anything would probably help. Thanks.

hey, did you ever figgure this out cause i've got the same exact problem?

 

No sorry, I've been in Iraq for nearly the last 4 months so, naturally, I haven't been working on it. The car is wrecked now anyhow so I probably will never find the reason behind that problem, however, I do believe that the cause was something to do with the stereo wiring. Sorry I couldn't help.

You pull off the 21pin connector called C0-3 that is located to the left of the steering column and fwd of the combination meter. Then you look for battery voltage on the black/Yellow wire on the connector half that feeds from the fuse box. No voltage? Then you replace the METER fuse. Done.

 

Sorry to bring back such an old post, but I currently have this problem but with a little twist.

All my gauges work from a cold start, but give it a minute or two and they all shut off(except the speedo, of course )

Could the fuse still be the problem even thought it does work for the first couple of minutes?

 

bad solder joint on the back of the gauge cluster or a loose screw on the back of the cluster.

 

I figure I should post the cause of the problem now that I have figured it out. On the electrical board, there was a break in one of the solid copper pieces near the start of the circut. no power = no gauges. Hope this helps somebody.
