Brent 89-GT

My car has been running great. I have been driving it daily and everything has been working. I was coming back from the store and noticed that I have no gauges, no speedo, no tach, no oil preesure, no trip computer HELP!

I pulled out the fuse chart and checked what I thought were the applicable fuses, they were all fine.

Has this happened to anybody else? What is the cure? TIA

Brent,
Did you check the connections on the back of the pod?

Brent,

Sounds like it starting to fall apart might as well Donate it now. I'll be able to live with out speedo and tach.



Seriously sorry to here of the trouble. I haven't been into that part of my cars yet, so no useful help here, just simpathy.

Brent -

See previous posts on the yearly electrical maintenance. If it ain't one of the connectors loose - it is LIKELY a loose ground.

I've had that happen twice before. In both cases, I replaced the instrument panel fuse - even though at one time the fuse looked like it was OK - and had to have the airbag light reset. In one case only there was a grounding error in the Airbag control memory.

Brent,

I had a similar situation. All of my instrument panel lights went out, except for the voltmeter. Fuse #25 in my model was blown. This fuse was in the circuit for the interior lights, rear hatch and the disgnostic coupling. I removed the dash pod to check for faults as well as the interior lights and found nothing. I later discovered that the tire nut lug wrench was not seated completely in the tool caddy in the rear hatch. It was making contact with a lead on the rear hatch switch. I repl;aced the fuse and put electrical tape on the rear hatch switch lead. Everything is back to normal . . . for now.

Brent,
Two connectors can be placed wrong - As I remember they are at the right side of the pod - Try to change these two connectors - I BTDT!
