Problems

[cjbecker]

I am having some problems with my cluster. The car is a 1984 318i.

I can not get the temp guage to work. As of now I do not have an si board in the car because it was completly shot. Do you have to have a si board for the temp guage to work? When i turn the car on, The guage does register that it is getting power, but that is it. It will not read any input from the sender. I checked the sender unit with a multi meter and it passes. Is it just my guage broke, or something else?

Also I have bad connection where the harness meets the cluster. I can play with this connection and turn my speedo on and off. Is it normal for this connection to go bad.

You don't need to put the same post in two sections.

[cjbecker]

not many people travel this section. that is the reason.

So before you took the SI board out the temp gauge worked? And now that the SI board is gone the temp gauge doesn't work?

1+1=2

2=The signal for the temp gauge goes throught the SI board.

It did not work before i took it out. It would jump a little but nothing else.

[cjbecker]

does anybody have a si board that they would like to sell?
