Instrument Cluster?

Speedometer stopped working yesterday while driving on cruise control

I was recently given a 1990 Lincoln Continental that has a few problems. One of the problems is the digital speedometer. It is not readable by looking straight at it. I have to either sit in the middle of the front seat or slouch down really far in order to read the display. This goes for all the other informatin it displays(temp, oil pressure, etc.). It doesn't seem to be tilted bad. I am also recieving a "check dcl" error message. Could this be the problem? If so, what is it?

I do not know first hand, but a mechanic I know who specializes in Mercurys told me these 90 or 91 thru 94's seem to be prone to this problem, and it is more than likely a burnt out Bulb(s) behind the display. You will have to do some disassembling of the dash atrim around it to slide it out and get it. He also said be carfull becaus some of the digital displays may have halogen bulbs in them that should never be touched by fingers or they burn out or explode.

My 1990 contental's fuel gauge just read's CO . I chect all fuses now what.[/Url][/code][/quote][/u][/i][/b]

I have a 1992, and had the same thing happen to me. I takled to Pat Goss, and was told the sending uint was going bad. I replaced it, and have had no more problems. The sending unit is in the gas tank, and part of the fule pump assembly.
Good luck

I was have proplems with the indicator and fuel pump so I replaced both. My fuel guage worked for a few days but stoped working again. It says that I'm on E and I have Zero miles dill empty. Is the sending unit faulty or is there something else?

How do u check the sending unit?

Also sometimes CS where the fuel gauge is and where it tells you your gas mileage has CS on it.

This happens all the time. It comes and goes as it likes. It beeps and its getting annoying to drive as it keeps beeping. What is the problem? What does CS mean?

New fuel pump installed and same problem.

How can u test the dash with a scan tool? How do u fix the dash if it's internal?

Yes sender and pump where replaced as a unit. Could be a faulty unit?

Could I have gotten 2 faulty units in a row?
