So Intermittently the cluster will not work as in guages speedo etc. Sometimes when this happens the battery light will come on. I am. still charging however as I have a volt meter in-line . Other times no lights no charging period. It was only a cold weather problem but appears to be getting worse.
I am wondering which pins on the round cluster connector give power to the
1) the cluster?
2) the oil pressure sensor light? ( sometimes that stays off while all the others light up)
Getting it all working requires pulling the cluster and adjusting(moving it just a tad) the round cluster connector and usually once its back up and going it keeps working.
Turn the car off turn the key to run and it fails again as in no idiots lights which means no power to cluster again. Again its been very infrequently happening until recently.
I am wondering if this a problem with the cluster board(cracked solder joint). There are all those wires pulling downward over they years on cluster . Or a problem with the female side of the connector?
I dont see any corrosion on either the male spade side on the board or the female side on the car.
I am on the road for a week and of course its getting worse and worse.
I have the console just sitting in the hole with no screws for easy access to correct when it happens.
Thank you all!!
