My dashboard instruments gone crazy
1. Tachometer hovering around 1000 RPM once the car is started.
2.Speedometer non functional
3.Fuel gauge showing full indication at all times
4.Temperature gauge showing High temperature once car is started.
This problem started and it sometimes work normal, all lights on dashboard working, even when the fuel goes low. any suggestions, i think its a ground fault causing it. please advice.
I was told that The lights are on a seperate circuit. The dash gauges have a transformer that steps down the 12 volts to something like 9 volts. My bet is the transformer is going out. The solution is to get that part replaced by a speedometer shop or get another one from a wrecking yard.
What i need to know is exactly where is this transformer located and if you can help with supplying a drawing to assit in repair

VOLTAGE REGULATOR
Located behind the instrument cluster
It is attached to the rear panel of the cluster.
input from battery is 10Volts, it regulates down to 5Volts
Any higher voltage inputed will overload the capacitors and resistors will burn,
Also check power distribution center, under hood upper motor area in drivers corner, check all relays and fuses.
Before you rip in to the dash check all ground wires, battery to ground, harness grounds, driver/passenger mid fram rail, Fuel sender is also ground to top of gas tank. IF ALL gauges do not work, that just leaves voltage regulator and/or cluster is malfunction,

sounds like you need to replace the thermostat.

Hi ahcobras. Did you check that the dimmer switch hasn't accidentaly been turned to the off position? You don't say what car it is on, but as it has cruise control, it probably has a dimmer switch! Instrument lights don't usually have a seperate fuse......

dash boar is electric. the fuses for that are on almost under the dashboard. like in fron of the drivers left leg there is a cover you have to pull off. but you may need to replace the cluster.
