Gauges not working...

[eagle_talon90]

hey, ok so for awhile now, my rpm, oil pressure, coolant temp., and fuel level gauges have not been working. It started probably almost a month ago, they would work one day then the next day they wouldn't. After doing that for about 2 weeks, they completely quit working. I havent had to much time to try and fix this until now, but now i have no idea where to start. I dont really know anything about the electrical systems on cars yet so could anyone help me out here? Thanks in advance, Kyle.

Did you check the fuse box under the dash? It might be blown.

Yeah, I checked all the fuses. There were 2 blown fuses, I replaced them but they didnt fix the gauges though. However my cigarrette lighter that i have no use for now works.

Your 10A "gauge" fuse is blown. Don't just look at it, check with ohmmeter. If not this then the wiring or connectors that this fuse goes to are not making contact.

Yeah check for power at the fuse. If thats good then the problem is between the fuse and the cluster. The wire for the guages goes up to the cluster through one of the plugs above the fuses. Check those plugs, unplug them and plug them back in after inspecting them. If everything looks good I would pull the cluster and check the connections behind it.

was the other blown fuse the 10A guage fuse?
