Gauge cluster questions
I just bench tested my new voltage limiter ....................... No dice for the fuel gauge.................. Took the nuts off the back of the gauge cleaned them up and cleaned up the circuit board where they contact and presto the fuel gauge also came to life..
Yup. Been preaching that in many of my posts.
You guys need to treat the gauges as an end to end system
1---Power to the cluster from the IGN switch, is it really "good?"
2---Are the connector pins making contact?
3--Is the limiter making contact with the board traces?
4--Is the limiter working?
5--Are the gauges actually making contact with the PC board?
6--Are the sensor wires actually making contact at the board connector?
7--Is the temp sensor wire continuous thorugh the bulkhead connector, all the way to the gauge?
8--Is the fuel sensor wire continuous all the way (through the kick panel connector) to the gauge?
9--Are the wire end terminals OK and making good contact?
10--Last test the senders by resistor substitution to be sure the senders and gauges are accurate.
