Hey guys my Gauges stoped working. Only the gas gauage seems to work fine and read fine. The others are just plain dead. I was thinking the fuses are blown or a cable was damage. What do I do to fix this?

if it was a fuse nothing would work...? um you can test it with a multimeter. if you want a new cluster i'll get you one out of a 94 gt coupe. let me know.

well start there. there one set of fuses under the driver's side vent. the gauge fuse is a ten amp. there is also a set of fuses in the engine bay, i forget if any of them have to do with the cluster. i would check at the fuse with the multi meter. start there and then begin to eliminate the possibilities. it sounds like it is a problem with the speedometer and tach though. do the lights and turn signal indicates work?

well it's not your fuse. it's either the gauges don't work one of the wires could be bad, or a computer issue... if you want i will get you a cluster from a local junk yard. i'll go saturday. let me know if you want them.
