Gauge Death

[ToyPick]

Hi guys!

Switched For My Summer Tires this afternoon and as I was pulling away from the backyard, noticed my RPM wasn't functioning, and then noticed a whole bunch of others

So when I have the key at ON :
- seatbelt warning light, checkengine, rear antilock and many others usually light up but not anymore.
- The heater stopped working
- The Tachymeter also sits at zero
- Oil pressure, temperature, battery voltage and gas guage also are dead.

Anyone have any idea to help me out?

I checked all my fuses, all were OK.

Thanks guys

ToyPick,

I would suspect the ignition switch.

If it's not the ignition switch is there somewhere else i Can Look?

I heard some chat about the "Integration Relay" but I'm not sure of all it's functions.

Double check the GAUGE fuse, and then check the 40A fusible links in the engine bay fuse box.

Checked all the fuses, and they ARE ALL GOOD, by the way if it was the Guage fuse, why is my heater also not functioning.

I have some information to add today as I was driving the guages were intermittently coming back and then coming back dead every once in a while randomly.

So to check if my heater also was coming back I set it to medium, and right on everything the guages came back, the heater fan did too so I have something cutting power to all my gages, and my heater fan.

This also causes my Daytime Running Lights to not come on since it doesn't detect the hand brake being off.

Because the heater relay takes it's power from the GAUGE fuse.
