Gauge Cluster Problem

[MIKES3]

I've been running into issues with my gauges not working. Does anyone know what fuse or relay control the gauges such as gas, speedo and tach. I beleive its in the cabin relay box?


I have no idea how much gas I have.

Is it intermittent? Do they all go out together?

If it was a power problem you'd be blowing fuses.
It's a ground wire problem if it goes in and out.

To answer your question on ther intermittent idea NOTHING works on the cluster. No lights no needles even the INFO center doenst work where it tells me my mileage and what not

Ok, heres the weird thing. The relay seems to control the power windows as well as the radio ( I think the radio) I was having slight problems in the past but I was able to jiggle the two leeded relay and then all was fine, but now it wont work at all. I opened the sealed relay to make sure the contact would close when power was on and it did. I know its not the relay. THose hardly ever go bad.

In the beginning you asked about the fuse.
Have you checked the interior fuse box for a blown fuse?

Also some manufacturers link the gauge backlighting to a blown fuse for the auxiliary tallights...so that you're aware the tallights are out.
You have a reverse problem...but just make sure you're not driving around at night with no taillamps.

its not un common to see those clusters go out either

When you say tail light I'm assuming its breaklights? My license plate light is out. That I do know. I'm not sure how long its been that way but I dont think its been all that long

Actually I seriously think its the opposite on clusters especially if they all go out at once, but I figured it out. I was a fuse above the relay. We must of bent a lead while dicking around with the relay. It works great as of now. Jus tot be safe I'm replacing the fuses

Thanks again for everyones input.
