Gauges stop after car finally running

[91eclipseDSM]

Finally got my car running....now my freaking gauges dont work all of them except for the speedo only aftermarket gauge i got is boost which doesnt work now either same with tach,oil temp,water temp,stock boost.

checked all fuses they were all fine my dash lights still work just no readings in the gauges....do i have to pull the whole dash to find out the problem? i'm really bad with wiring :/

Is the speedo cable hooked to the tranny? Have you checked to see if the cluster itself is hooked up. Check the speedo cable there too. I had one break right behind the cluster. I have a good working cluster if yours isnt working. Pm me if you need it. Also check to see if you have the sensors for the gauges hooked up right.

Could this be why my tach doesnt work? there is no metal plug thing and could anybody tell me where the wires are located for the gauge cluster in the engine bay?

and why dont my brake lights work?

No that looks fine. The temp sensor is located on the thremostat housing. The oil pressure sensor is on the oil filter housing. Whats the speedo cable look like? Was it hooked up?

are you asking if there needs to be a plug in that spot ?

yeah because on the other side there is a little metal pin sticking out but in the picture there is not 1

 

[muddfisher85]

On the cluster I have there is no pin on that side either. Are the sensors plugged up did you check that?

Water temp sensor is hooked up but still wont work and i couldn't find the oil temp

And your sure all your fuses are good inside and under the hood. Is your interior lights working?

Yup all car light works even the gauge cluster lights work but no gauges....

 

[muddfisher85]

I would say change the sensors then. They are pretty cheap. One at a time and see if that gauge works after changing the sensor. If that doesnt work I would try replacing the gauge cluster. Just hope its something simple and not an electrical problem. What shape is your engine harness in?

What did you do to the car before this happened?

That may help explain what may of happened. I'm having an issue with my 1G (93) as well with the tach not working after I got done doing some mods.

What mods did you do? I figure its just something not hooked up right or not at all and or bad sensors.

Ignition system (COP & Ignition box) and completely replaced the whole fuel system.

I'm thinking my issue is something to do with the Ignition system. I'm not getting any change in voltage from the ECU pin going to the tach. But Link V3 is getting a signal and reads RPM's.

Have you checked your ecu? Could be that, we pulled the plug to the gauges when I hooked up my boost,a/f,and oil pressure. Running the power off of it.

It dropped all the gauges obviously.
