    GUAGE PROBLEM!!!

    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.

    Genuine experience carries a lot more credibility than the ability to answer a question.

    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.

    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?
