i posted on nato but just wanted to see what you guys say and if you could put in on some stuff here i do engines not electric teck stuff, i have a science project due and i need my speedo, sucks being in high school. lol.
here's my post from NATO
i was takeing a drive in my 88 tc and i heard a little pop and my speedo and tack weren't working we checked all the fuses weather or not it had to do with the cluster or not. my other gauges work fine except my temp gauge but that hasn't worked sense i got the car, have took the time to change the sencer. i thought at first it was from the speedo tick when the blinker was on but now it doesn't do the "ford needle jump" lol. when the needles went out my over boost buzzer came on kinda scared me lol. my cheak engine light was on because my IAC is a gonner so i just unpluged it but now it dosent light up, so now my lights dont come, just the side gauges work. any help would greatly apreceated. i dont want any tickets lol.
can i get a pic off what i need to fix because nato told me about a black box andand i half to cut out the old stuff and replace what ever i cut out with a wire. i dont get were this box is.
I have two TC gauge clusters in the garage (no speedos).
I don't get the black box thing , but I have a whole cluster to replace what you got.
i herd it was a black box under the hood and you take a wire and replace it with something but i dont know what thats wha nato told me and im like wtf????
Let me know if you can understand your own ?
They said that I need to check my fusible links under the hood? My premium switch does not work either.
The instrument cluster is powered by fuse 18, that is fed by a fuse link... If the wiring diagram is correct that fuse link also feeds the coil, so if it's running the FL isn't the problem...
Ok thanks the fuse is not blown. So I guess I'll pull the cluster to see what lies beneath.
