Instrument cluster/gauges woe...

Recommended Posts

I've just taken most of the dash apart to find a short (blowing number 21 fuse as soon as it was put it) which turned out to be a half-melted instrument cluster loom (cause or symtom? I hope cause :| ). I've separated the wires and taped them up with insulation tape and so no more blowing of fuse number 21. Brilliant! (or so I thought).

 

I've just connected up the instrument cluster and although the clock and odomoeter reads OK, nothing else works - speed, rev counter, fuel gauge, warning lights etc. The connection to the fuse board for most of the loom is on connector U2 (http://www.a2resource.com/electrical/CE2.html) and a few wires are not terminated like those two in the pic below

I'm not sure if I've pulled something out whilst wrestling with the fuse board or if these should go anywhere... I'm also confused with the terminals on top of the board (where the two grey and one green connectors are in the pic below) - what are these for? Should the black connector with the thicker black wire in the pic below go anywhere?

Could I have killed my instrument cluster somehow or am I missing something obvious? I hate car electrics... :help:

Hi, did you find the cause for instrument cluster not working. I'm having similar issues after my engine conversion.

Thanks.
