i took out my gauge cluster so i could put on my indiglos and then when i put it all back together in the car it didn't work properly. The problem is that right before i turn the car over the needle on the speedo moves up to 60km/h. Why would this be and can i fix it?

*pdiggitydogg* · 04-18-2005, 09:02 PM

almost seems like it has a short and is connecting voltage to the speedo section when the car is turned to "on" or acc

sideshow775 · 04-18-2005, 09:24 PM

well i looked at all the wires and i guess two of them were touching and now they don't work at all. The needles won't move at all. Any thoughts?

*pdiggitydogg* · 04-18-2005, 09:42 PM

Probably killed a fuse.
Move them back to where theyre supposed to be, find the fuse for the cluster and replace it if blown. Give that a shot

sideshow775 · 04-18-2005, 10:50 PM

Which fuse is it on the diagram?

*pdiggitydogg* · 04-18-2005, 11:06 PM

sideshow775 · 04-18-2005, 11:56 PM

Yea i looked under the hood and their is no fuse their either? It is wierd because all of the lights work but the needles are all towards the bottom.

*pdiggitydogg* · 04-19-2005, 12:03 AM

someone else probably knows...

indiglos were not a god choice. something always gos wrong with them

sohc_vtec 2NR · 04-22-2005, 09:43 PM

so far i haven't had a problem with my ebay special indiglo gauges....i got 'em a while back, when i went through my "ricer" phase and as of now i'd rather get sport the stock ones....

sideshow775 · 04-28-2005, 11:04 PM

is there anyway to fix this problem. i think this is why its not working. One of the bronze pieces that carry the main power throughout the gauges broke and their is a gap between it.

*pdiggitydogg* · 04-29-2005, 07:14 AM

You can try some conductive paint (radio shack might have it), but there is no guarantee that will work.

ebpda9 · 04-29-2005, 07:24 AM

might as well just buy a new board. i know i had a short in it a while ago in my teg and i had to replace the thing.

A drop of solder might work....

ebpda9 · 04-29-2005, 03:20 PM

i tried that too, but it didn't work that great. i made more damage than fix things lol

*pdiggitydogg* · 04-29-2005, 03:40 PM

Id think that'd melt the backing first
