Unsoldered joints on gauge cluster
Unsoldered joints on gauge cluster
Only about 5 lights work on my cluster so I took it out and see that a lot of places are unsoldered, and Im not sure what wires where I should connect across to what solder joints, if any, since Ive seen some pictures of wires going across the back to connect certain areas. Is there a picture of a complete gauge cluster circuit board so I can fix it myself? Heres what mine looks like:
if you are having a problem with bulbs not lighting up here's the second thing you try (the first is replacing the bulbs with Known Working Parts). pull the bulb-holder out, clean the contacts on both the bulb holder and the back of the gauge cluster with rubbing alcohol and a qtip, gently bend the connections of the bulb holder out a bit more, screw bulb holder back in and move to the next bulb.

/\/\...I wondered about that too.(never seen an Auto cluster before!)
The Manual cluster only has 2 round pin connections and the speedo cable connection.

I guess it was converted to a manual cluster from the previous owner back 3 years ago. All the pins are taken out of the center one so you couldnt plug anything to it. My gauges are the manual gauges. Heres the pic of mine from the front. And it just bothers me when its lit up at night because only half the gauge on each one is lit up. The other half is dim to fade to no light.

Thought I saw pins on the center connector but clearly, I was wrong.
whether it be originally an auto cluster, its an na manual cluster now to a manual FC. Automatic literally sickens me. Im just gonna mess around with a wire to connect from power to point to see if the middle lights work and put it back in.
