94 SL2 inst cluster issues
Thanks in advance for reading this over. My 94 SL2 5spd has been
mechanically and electrically problem-free since I've owned it, except the old-school electro-mechanical odometer recently started clicking and grinding. So I fixed that, didn't have time yet to put all the dash trim back together, but all gauges working fine as they did before, and no annoying whirring from the ODO. Perfect for several short trips over the last week... until today my ODO, speedometer, tach and all the warning lights stopped working. I tried fiddling with the wiring connector but the gauges remain completely dead. The fuel and temp gauges, and the high beam/turn signal indicators work fine. Is there a separate fuse for some of the gauges? Any ideas are appreciated, my schedule makes it tough to troubleshoot from square one, and I can't afford a speeding ticket! Can I swap the whole cluster, and do all 91-94 gauges interchange? I know some DOHC had an oil pressure for a couple years. I have access to a first-gen auto SL1 parts car, unfortunately nothing exactly alike. Anyone have a resource for the wiring diagrams on different years? I don't have a factory service book for this year yet. -Timothy |

94 SL2 inst cluster issues
There's the big ribbon connector on the back of the instrument cluster.
You can get the symptoms you describe if the ribbon connector is just a little bit crooked when the cluster goes back in its spot. Pull the cluster forward and be sure the connector is completely seated and locked. tm wrote: > Thanks in advance for reading this over.
