FrownMy speedometer,odometer,gauges aren`t working on my dashboard. I`ve checked fuses also wiring. I`ve changed the cluster panel with a new one but still not working. Any ideas on what I might try next?

When you turn the key on but don't start it, do any of the warning lights come on?(engine, brake, ABS, ect.)

OK. All of the gauges, the warning lights, and panel lights share a power source. The gauges, panel lights, low fuel light, high beam indicator, seat belt indicator and turn indicators all share a common ground. All the indicator lights(seat belt, high beam ect.)pull a power source from the appropriate sensor. Since the panel lights and the indicator lights are working and none of the gauges or warning light are not, I would say the problem lies in the power source to the cluster that the gauges and the warning lights share. Double check fuse #14 (15A) and check for power at the cluster(light green and yellow wire). This should be hot with key in run or start. Also if this was a used cluster rather that new from dealer you may have the same problem with this one that you did with the old on. I have had this problem in the past also.
