Factory gauge question
 

Okay so awhile back i was replacing my clutch and I dont know but my oil pressure gauge burnt out so I got a new cluster and put it in today and well my oil pressure gauge seems to work but now my temp gauge doesnt seem to work I even plugged my old cluster in to see what up and it doesnt work either anyone have any ideas :scratch:

Is the wire to the temperature sender hooked up? It's a single female bullet type connector & the sender is on the rear iron near the oil pressure sender. I think the wire is yellow or yellow/red.

ya the temp sender is hooked up it was workin fine before i changed out the cluster but now nothing so i even took the other gauge out of my old cluster and still nothing i know there very tedious so i was very careful in doing so my fuel gauge was actin funny as well so i done a little swappin now i have my old cluster with just the new oil gauge and everything is good except the temp gauge still nothin Im stupmed Im pretty mechanically inclined and like Ive said before can handle juust about anything except when it comes to wiring diagrams there pretty confusing to me

I think the internals of these old gauges are fairly delicate. My voltmeter hasn't worked since the first time I pulled the cluster, and I didn't even remove the gauge itself. Besides that, all I can think of would be loose connections or something hooked up wrong.

ya thats a fact they are pretty delicate but two hell you would figure one would work especially the one that worked before but screw it I think im just going to go with a aftermarket mechanical and call it good I want to go with some aftermaket pillars anyway thanks though guys i would still welcome any insight anyone has just so i can ellimnate the issue Im kinda anal like that

i had the same problem just a little differnt my oil pressure guage has never worked since i got my car. then when i hooked up an aftermarket guage the stock oil temp stopped working so i purchased a new one but it wont work on the old sender. and its hard as hell to get the old sender out. but thats my route. voltmeter also has problems u ahve to hit the top of the dash to make the needle work. replacing it as well.

so i got all my gauges to work turns out on the female side of the pin block i had sone loose bullet connectors so i sqeezed them closed a little and all good but now my freakn horn wont work what a freakn headache

^ Interesting. I might have to pull my cluster out this weekend and inspect the plugs.

For the horn, check the connections on the horns themselves. They can vibrate loose. The CPU (driverside kick panel) controls the horn function, so if you've worked in that area recently, check the plug.
