Alright guys, more questions from me. My spedo, instrument panel lighting, and fuel gauge dont work. i was wondering if you guys think its a problem with one of the fuses or if the problem runs deeper.

For the instrument panel lighting i was thinking that the bulbs may be gone, but i dont know how to change those.

Sounds like a fuse, check the fusepanel at the drivers side floor, if theres a fuse for dash, that should be it, check if its burnt, or just has a bad connection. If its burnt replace it, but if it burns when you switch on the dash, you got a short somewhere.

I'm not 100% sure its that, but its just a 2min operation to check and cancel out that option.

Yeah i checked the fuses today. i replaced all the ones that were relevant like guage, and stuff like that. but im still left with what i started with.

just replace the whole cluster
its alot easier then try ing to figure otu whats wrong with it.. Goto a junk yard, rip one out, and shove it in.

Don't forget that after you install the "psuedo" new one, you should smash the crap outta the old one and film yourself doing it too!
