I have used that in most electrical connections. Can't remember if I put any in these new bulb sockets though. But I switched those two bulbs w/sockets with two other sockets/bulbs in other spots on the cluster (i think seatbelt and.... forgot the other). The place I put the original two, they...
I just replaced the "flexible" circuit board on the back of the cluster a month or so ago with a brand new one. Cleaned the main plug and everything, and it was working fine at that time.
And this time I plugged and unplugged it several times, making sure it was fully seated. I don't know...
well my temp light nor my low coolant light come one when I turn the key to the "on" position, nor after I start the truck. They worked perfectly after I replaced the sensors a couple months ago. Have no idea what happened. All I did was pull the cluster out to push the speedometer cable fully...
temp light doesn't come on whether it is grounded or not. so I don't know if it's working either. thing is I just replaced both of these sensors a couple months ago and they were working fine
well at least my temp light might work. low coolant isn't though, even if I unplug from sensor which would leave an open circuit it should turn on light. but nothing. oh well
screw it, I'm putting it back together, i have too much other work to keep fooling with this. need truck tomorrow.
I always keep check on fluids anyway, have a small antifreeze leak that i cant locate thus far. going to try some uv dye and see..
have no way to know if temp light works, if she...
changed the leds back to regular 194 bulbs, still nothing
would have had this done in 30 to 45 min. but no, something else had to quit working for no apparent reason.....
switched those two bulbs/sockets with two others, bulbs were fine as they worked in other spots. temp and low coolant lights still don't light up.
TM said low coolant light is supposed to come on when key is first turned on, doest say about temp light.
checked wires on both new sensors...
hey guys, question: are the temp light and low coolant light (below speedometer) supposed to come on when you first turn on key??
just had to pull instrument cluster again as I didn't get my speedometer cable plugged fully in, and tested my dash lights before closing her backup, and those two...
I ended up ordering everything from Classic Industries, mostly because they had the bulb holders and a couple other small items that I couldn't find on LMC.
And yeah, I have filled a tank a bit to fast before and had the pump kick off. I always just waited for the foam to go down, and start...
Hey all, been going to post an update since feb 1st when I got this job done. Seems like never enough hours in the day. Also the day I finished this it was still early in the day, so I went ahead and pulled the rear tire and hub to find out what the "little leak" was around the drum/backplate...
Ok, I'm trying to figure out what I will need
Thanks for the video ADF [thumbzup] [thumbzup]
From what he is saying, or at least from what I understand, my gauge may not be getting any connection to the "signal" wire from the sending unit. As it shows way past full, around the 3 o'clock...
The other thing I can think of besides the fuel gauge and circuit panel is that this new fuel sending unit is bad ☹
I should have tested it before install, as just because parts are new doesn't mean they work.
Thanks for reply, I hooked mine back up that way as there is no 3rd fuel hard line on the truck. So I'm not sure what everyone else seems to refer to there originally being 3 lines + 1 capped off. Truck ran before hooked up this way, should run again the same. I just dont know how the tank is...
Got the tank back on and everything installed, including the new ground wire, reconnected the original sending unit "signal" wire, and installed the new sending unit hoses to the hard lines
I had to make a new ground wire as the connector on the old one broke off when I was removing the tank. So...
