So after a few months of browsing through this wonderful forum, while searching for my car, I got a 97 GT Hatch. So I have been getting it back on the road. New struts and brakes all the way around and was installing a new set of reverse glow gauges. Anyway I got the new gauges working correctly but now I have no lights for the needles. After searching I found that all the other lights work door adjar seatbelt etc but no needles even after installing some LEDs that I got from AutoZone. Am I up a creek? Do I need to go to a junk yard and get a new cluster than switch over the Speedo so mileage is still accurate. Any help will greatly appreciated also.I checked all fuses and everything else appears to be functioning correctly

If everything is exactly the same, I'd suggest that you replace just the circuit. Remove all the bulbs, unscrew everything and it should come right off. This way you keep the milage reading and clusters/gauges exactly the same.
Then just put all the bulbs back in and test each and every one. Except for the fuel level indicator, this should be rather easy. This post has been edited by Nihil: Jul 19, 2012 - 10:58 AM -------------------- |
