i just put a new motor in my 95 fd... and the gauge cluster isnt working... rmp speedometer ect.... anyone know where the problem might be?

 

did you find out what was wrong??
if so i have the same problem any help would be great

thanks

 

sounds like a blown fuse.

 

maybe for scott but my rpm tach jumps sometimes

 

Does yours not work at all or does it just jump around? Those are two different problems/solutions.

 

some times it jumps and some times it doesnt work at all.
mostly not at all

 

speedometer doesnt work ether.but i did see a write up on fixing that

 

also have haltech could that be something?? with the rpms

 

Without knowing the history of the car, its possible. I would start by checking the wiring to the dash (i.e. make sure its recieving a signal). After that, check the solder points on the tach to make sure they aren't damaged.

 

Mine wasn't working at all at one stage but it was because a blown fuse. I just replaced the fuse and boom! Back on again

 

I have a similar problem. No needle action at all. Where is this fuse located?

 

my buddy and i just had the same problem. It ended up being the connector behind the Ecu we forgot to plug in... When you turn the key acc it works fine, but when you start it it goes down...

We found the connector hidden in there and it was unpluged....

 

Yep, that was my prob too. It's easy to overlook.

White plug on the engine harness that plugs into the dash loom. Has a foam tape around the plug itself.

Symptoms of this are:

* No Speedo
* No Tach
* Oil pressure gauge reading high
* No Temp Gauge
* Odometer goes out once you start the car

 

did you pull the ecu before this happened? make sure the white harness plug is connected near by..happened to me...
damn..just read the posts..

 

Check the Meter Fuse, if that's good take a look at the ECM connectors. Was the instrument hood ever pulled?

 

Ground for the cluster is on top of the fuel pump access... might want to make sure thats grounded also
