so ...i took the cluster out today to fix that funky coolant temp gauge and its great now!!! for the bad part my parking brake light is out???it used to work before i took the cluster out...also i still have a funky gas gauge!! the test!! i filled the car today with 20$ prem 91 gas before the fillup it was at less than 1/4 after the fillup it sat at 3/4 i drove the car today for a bit and i was getting about 9.2L/100kms(30 somthing MPG) not to mention that i was driving like a grandpa shifting at 2000rpm.or so after i went home i looked at the gauge and boom my gauge is sitting at the 1/4 mark?? am i loosing gas or whats going on?:???:

thanks R3v.

well 9.2 is like 25mpg. but anyway ur sending unit for the gauge could be bad. but the only way i know to check it is to pull the fuel pump out. as for the parking light u might have knocked the blub loose or it just blew. it is probaly the original blub to the car.

shit...i will check again tommorwo.

bump.. also i have some ebay cluster chrome rings that i want to install.. i was wondering how to take the plastic cover to put the chrome rings!

[Hartge_H27]

the plastic cover is glued on. so very carefully work it off and there u go.

i have a cluster question too. could a cluster it self be the cause of a fuse blowing?? i checked all of the wiring and its fine. but ever seince i put in a new cluster fuse 10 keeps blowing. fuse 10 is MPG gauge, tac, gas, temp and check.

thanks
