Digital dash is working except for fuel gauge (far left in digital grouping) that just went out. Does this sound like a solder joint issue in control module as previously discussed in this thread?
Thanks.
From my experience with these digital gauges, it can be either one. However, when one part of your dash works perfect while the rest never come on it is usually an indication that there is something wrong with the dash itself (not the power supply...or "module" whatever). You need a new dash. Hit your local junkyard...I've bought 3 from them so far and only one had a problem...its a gamble but you can get them for under $30.
Oh yeah...check out www.az-zbum.com to see compatible dashes.
Sounds like what I had. All my dash light would intermittently come on or off or off altogether. Took the power unit out and found that the solder joints were all cracked. Reflowed the joint and had to add a bit of new solder. Good as new. Very easy...even girleeigrl did it.
im having similar problems my gas gauge always says empty and i have heard of the Fuel sending units goin out also i have plenty of other electrical problems like accel gauge turns off when i turn on the head lights and my avg speed meter doesnt work also
My dash quit working completely. I checked the power suppy box. Cleaned connecters. Inspected solder connections, nothing. Then I learned that the fuse that goes to the rear wipers also controls the dash. Changed fuse, dash now works.
whats the 1st step i should take to start diagnosing my dash its affecting a lot of my electrical in my whole car headlights an many other switches my speedometer and tachometer work fine my fuel gauge usually says empty and every month or so the avg trip meter will turn on any help will be much appreciated

hello reddzx,
i resoldered my joints. still no luck. here are the items that are out...
- all digital guages
- a/c system
- front / rear wipers
do you happen to remember which fuse it was on yours. was it a simple fuse in the fusebox near the left foot - or a relay in the engine compartment.
ps/ any help would be appreciated. it's my son and his wife's main car i'm trying to repair
