Hi Everyone,
I was hoping to get some help/input. As you can see in the video, when the car is running none of the gauges seem to work. The tachometer isn’t at idle, gas light is on, oil temperature is registering, and numerous warning lights are illuminated, etc. What are your thoughts on this? Why do you think this is happening? Did the cluster simply just fail or do you think it’s a much deeper electrical issue? I checked all fuses and they seem fine and not blown. Thanks for all of your help!
It may be a disconnected plug on the back of the cluster. It’s relatively easy to pop it out and check. If you have a computer take a look at live data to make sure the actual readings for rpm exist
Do you need a special program to extract that type of information?
A normal obd2 computer should be sufficient
Check that your key is returning from position 2 back to position 1 after starting?
Are you able to elaborate?
Insert and remove key position is position 0. Turn key one position to the right is position 1. Turn further to the right to position 2 to start the car. Let go of the key and it should return to position 1. Turn to position 0 to shut the car off.
Maybe your ignition is not returning to position 1 after starting? Just a guess, not saying that's the problem.
Awesome, thank you so much! I will try that.
Check for water under the seat as there are control modules there that could be wet. Also, I’d be checking the battery voltage. If the battery isn’t in top shape 986 electrics go very funky
It’s a brand new battery 😩
