Instrument Cluster Panel General Troubleshooting Guide

My Gas (Gas/Oil/Temperature) gauge is (pegged/jumping) and never did that before I sent it in

  1. Faulty sensors may be at fault.
  2. If you only have an oil pressure issue (flickering or going haywire or completely off), most likely it is the oil pressure switch/sensor at fault. It’s a commonly known defect along with clusters in the year range.
  3. If you have incorrect fuel reading, be sure to check the fuel sender/sensor unit before sending it back in.

 My Speedo gauge is flickering after I sent it in for repair

  1.   All gauges are replaced with aftermarket high-quality ones if you are still having problems with speedo or indirectly the tach gauge, it’s most likely the speedo sensor that has to be replaced.

My Cluster is completely dead and not responsive

  1. It’s most likely a wiring issue. Sometimes pulling on the wires instead of the tabs may sever the connection to the cluster check to see if they are not pushed back. Also, an electrical spray cleaner is recommended for clusters with power issues because corrosion settles on the metal pins. It is wise to spray both the pins and the plug itself and check for any bent pins. Lastly, make sure none of the fuses related to the dash and cluster are blown out.

After I got it back from you guys and after driving it for a while my cluster won’t power up at all

  1. Check if the illumination background lights and check engine are on when hooked up, Also if the cluster is non-responsive but blocks appear all the way across the bottom digital display screen it’s an internal problem that has to be addressed at our facility

On my cluster. All the diagnostic lights are on or are going haywire. None of the gauges on the right-hand side are working.

  1. This is most likely a faulty harness plug, bad connection, or fuse issue. Make sure the pins are not pushed back on the plug; the pins on the cluster aren’t bent. Clean both sides with an electrical cleaner. Make sure there is no bad grounding.

Just got a cluster back over the weekend and installed today. Background lights are working but none of the gages are responding and the odometer display at the bottom is not working

      Here's a screenshot from the test video. All gauges are working and bottom LCD is lighting up. If it's still not working on your end most likely wiring is loose or making poor connection.   make sure pins on the plug harness are cleaned, not receding inside the plug, and making sure all grounds are good.  If they're still having issues, it is under warranty but it's most likely something in the vehicle. you can reach out to us for more help if needed.
