new guy from laurel no tack no speedo Reply #7 – January 04, 2010, 07:02:26 PM 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... Quote Selected

So I guess I'll pull the cluster to see what lies beneath. Quote Selected
