Hi

I am wondering if anyone would know the issue to the dash not working. My car starts but nothing on the dash works. The wipers, odemeter, airbag light, seat belt light work. The dash light, turn signals, all the gauges do not work.



What could be the issue?

Thanks

Have you checked your fuses?

 

I have checked all the fuses in the engine bay near the battery and they are fine. Would it be any fuses near the driver kick panel?

 

There are fuses in the kick panel you might want to check. I think it is either your 15 amp TAIL fuse or METER fuse.

 

all the fuses are fine. Could it be some ground near the ecu on the passenger kick panel? Or near the fuse box near the driver kickpanel?

thanks

 

if anyone can help it would be great

-SO all the gauges do not work, but the lights on the gauges work.
-hazards do not work but the turn signals work
-fan speeds work.
-radio all works
-headlight. taillights, turns signals, reverse lights work.
-low coolant sensor buzzing and red light is on even though the coolant is full. Coolant sensor is new

Could it just be a ground wire that is affecting the gauges if the lights do turn on?

Thank you
shen

 

Could you give a bit of a description of the car in general- what work you've performed on it recently, etc?

A lot of the gauge electronics come via the ECU, which interprets signals like RPM, speed, etc and converts them and sends signals to the cluster. Maybe pull the cluster and check the plugs and wiring is all fine. Then look at the ECU and confirm no damage or shorted plugs or wires there.
