I can tell you from personal experience that the fix works. I just did this last week to fix my flickering "check gauges" light and it worked like a charm. No more annoying light!

I did this fix on mine, and it fixed the light problems that I was having. But I still have accuracy problems. :( Someone mentioned that it might be a ground somewhere that's bad. I haven't started looking yet though. Waiting for my wiring diagrams to get here.

Any chance you're going to post those wiring diagrams somewhere when you get them? :wink: I'm sure some people (like me) would really appreciate it!

I got the complete 90 GM Service manual off ebay..so they're the wiring diagrams from that..and they should be here any day now. :wink: I'll have to see about posting them when they get here :wink:

And on the issue of the innacurate dash, my speedo is off by 20 mph (HUD is dead on), the tach is off by 2 or 3 grand (shifts at 9000RPMs), the oil pressure is pegged all the time, the boost never breaks 4 (even though I can hear the turbo working like a mofo), and the gas gauge is off by around 1/2 a tank. I ran out once on the highway because of it. :(

Wow, is there anything on your dash that does work? Thank goodness for the HUD. :wink: Does sound like it could be a ground somewhere. Have you tried swapping in another cluster to see if it's in the wiring or the cluster itself?

Yes..thank goodness for the HUD :) I have the spare N/A cluster from my LE parts car. I'm gonna try swapping that in when I get the TGP back in the garage for more work. :)
