Gauge cluster not working?

Hey TERRY,

I found a wiring diagram for you, please test for twelve volts at the fuses and check for the power output at the ignition switch.

Here is a guide and diagram to help you get the problem fixed.

Please run some tests and get back to us so we can continue helping you.

Best, Ken

Hello,

It sounds like a bad connection at the cluster, remove the unit and unplug it, then plug it back in again, this should clean the connection.

Please let us know what happens.

Cheers, Ken

The "no bus" indicates there is no signal coming from the computer to the dash. There must be a bad connection ora broken wire.

Sounds to me youre speedo cluster has failed, I would try the local wrecking yard if they have one, It will be alot cheaper then the dealer.

At what point are you expecting the fuel pump to run? What are you doing and how are you determining the pump isn't running? Have you checked for spark?

You have the right idea but 20 seconds is way too long. The automatic shutdown (ASD) relay turns on for just one second after turning the ignition switch on, then again during engine rotation, (cranking or running).

The ignition coil(s), injectors, alternator field, oxygen sensor heaters, and fuel pump or pump relay are powered from that relay. Often you can hear the fuel pump run for that one second but it can be easier to monitor the voltage at the ignition coil. Use a test light if you have one because most digital voltmeters don't respond fast enough.

What's important is if that voltage comes back during cranking. If it does, you have a spark or a fuel supply problem. Most commonly it doesn't come back. The usual cause is a missing signal from the crankshaft position sensor or the camshaft position sensor. You didn't say which engine you have but since you mentioned coil packs you don't have a camshaft position sensor in a distributor. Given the recent service I'd be looking at the wires and connector to the crank sensor. It's right behind the right head in the transmission bell housing.

Be aware too that if you have spark and fuel pressure, you can have a failure to start simply from disconnecting the battery. The Engine Computer has to relearn "minimum throttle" before it will know when to be in control of idle speed. Until then you may need to hold the accelerator down 1/4".

At the instrument cluster connector, check voltage and ground. Wiring info below. In the diagram, the circle has letters for cluster pins. Below that, vertical numbers 1 through 6. Any circuit that says fuse, check for voltage. The circuit that says ground, check for a good ground.

The instrument cluster isn't controled by the computer.

You may have to check voltage and grounds at the computer? Some of your sensors use a ref voltage about 5 volts, The ref voltage comes from computer. An example, key on, check for ref voltage at the throttle position sensor. If nothing there check voltage and ground at computer. Don't know about a conversion kit?
