OK so a in my latest bout of tinkering with stuff, my tach and speedo have stopped working. I've search and checked a few things. I know the tach works through the PFC but the speedo I am not sure about because the car has no seats in it (re-upholstry) and I can't drive it. The temp gauge seems ok but the oil pressure gauges pegs high (not that uncommon for sensor failures).

Here's the deal, when I bought the car 9 years or so ago it was an automatic that I converted. No worries easy swap everything was fine. Well since then I have bought another car as a parts car that was a true manual car. I decided since I had it apart to swap the clusters. Two boned headed mistakes here, one the parts car never ran so I am not sure if it actually works and two the old cluster had a "mishap" and is in a million pieces.

Most of what I have read indicates the cluster could use a rebuild, which is fine however I would like to throw another cluster in to test it first or find a solid testing procedure for it. If anyone would like to offer some help or advice I'd love to hear it.

 

ok so I had a buddy of mine who is much taller than I am drive me around...the speedo is dead but the tach and other gauges seem to work ok is we jerk the wheel one way or another....its weird

 

Just in case anyone searches this issue. My problem was with my power steering switch.
