I installed my new gauges but I cant see my miles counter and also my knobs for the temperature and air dont show (the cluster under the radio). Does anyone know what could be the problem?

Sounds like you forgot to reconnect the dimmer switch. Check the connection on the back of the switch to make sure it's in tight and aligned correctly.

I'd reinstall the wire harness connectors again and don't forget to connect the dimmer switch from the black plastic beazel. It will not work without this connected.


Hahaha, you beat me to it Chip. :wink:

I'm having problems with my gauges. they will not light up.... I have everything connected like stated above, but the blue glow won't glow...
I connected all the wire above... but i didn't put the whole thing back together to test it... I mean.. the old bulbs light up but no the new gauges?


What else can i check...

Please Help!!!

first of all yea 4 connectors is ok. its a universal ballast and some cars need more than 3 guage faces.

as for it not lighting up, i have a question, what kinda connection did u use to tap for power?
