Title: Gauge cluster and HUD issues
Post by: 89BlackTGP on May 13, 2009, 04:06:39 AM
Well i am working the bugs out of the car now and running across a few things.. You know when you turn on the ingition and it goes through a system check and all guages move and all lights come on and the HUD lights up with all the things it shows.. well the HUD shows all the things light up like a system check.. i will get a pic today.. IDK if the HUD is bad or it relates to the next problem.. My gauges are inaccurate just like all the others.. i have no temp gauge and the 1 wire sensor is new the fuel gauge shows 1/4 when its bone dry b/c i ran out of gas, but the turbo gauges works properly and so does the oil press.. the tach works but is probably inaccurate and i know the speedo is off but it works.. my check gauges light comes on and then slowly fades away about every 2 times i drive it.. also the gas gauge is showing 3/4 tank and the fuel light comes on..  Now hopefully this made sense... lol.. When i had the dash out i did do the soldering to the back of the cluster... show i redo it again? or do i need another one since i have other issues?

If your fuel light and check gauges light are still on, you probably will have to resolder it.

The gauges in these cars are terrible, some are worse than others.  As for your fuel gauge, is your sending unit damaged?
