NEW to the DSM world...Need some electrical help!!

[Pmannz88]

I have a 1995 Eclipse GSX. Only 66k ... Runs and drives... etc etc... Got it from a friend who used it strictly as a track car (non street car). Hence- everything was gutted from the interior...

Starting to put the interior back in piece by piece (dash too)... But now I've come to a pretty big problem... The gauge cluster doesn't work and neither do the turn signals. WTF

Headlights, taillights, brake lights work- but for some reason the dash doesn't light up or work (aka no tach. no speedo. etc. ). Also i have no turn signals!? Is it something with the gauge cluster or...??

SO hence- any ideas/suggestions on taillights/dash/gauge cluster not working?!?! Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. I'd like to get the car complete and together sooner than later so any and all posts would truly be appreciated!!!!

Thanks- Paul

i think you may have one or more plugs not connected. check and recheck. also check for a ground wire not being hooked up

Thanks for the quick response...Keep them coming


All the wires on the steering column are plugged in- no grounds in sight (just looked)

there isn't like a hidden fuse or anything on them is there? Also- there is a black plug located up near the speaker hole in the dashboard on the drivers side... Any ideas?

Check both fuseboxes (1 under the hood, one under the dash). Do you have manual yet? If not you should get one as you can follow the schematics and figure out what exactly is missing.

Make sure the connections are correct. Also check to see if your bulbs aren't bad, and last but not least i would replace all your fuses, it's a 10+ year old car after all so might as well start fresh.

Checked all fuses-- they're all good.

There isn't even a clicking or implied noise for the turn signals....and still my dash/gauge cluster is not functioning at all

While on topic of wiring--- Does anyone have or know where i can find a diagram/ image/chart for a sunroof!? I have the bracket in place--- and I have the wiring harness- but i have no idea what all the plugs are for.....
