Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

8 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My oil level gauge/ clock portion of my cluster is no longer functioning. It simply does not light up at all. Is there a simple fix for this? Fuse? The rest of the cluster works just fine. Thanks.

POST 2Original post

I am going to assume the rest of your instrument cluster is operational. If so, I would check your connection at the oil level sender or maybe the sensor itself went bad. I actually just broke my sender this week as I was trying to pull out my a/c compressor. Check out my thread for the location of the sender. https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...ideo-help.html page 4

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the response. Wouldn't that just give me some sort of error message, or just an incorrect reading? The whole gauge and clock are just completely off. No power. And yes, the rest of the cluster is working perfectly fine. Thanks

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

and its a 99 c2 Cab.. Forgot that info.

POST 5Original post

Do you mean the light is off, or the gauges themselves don't work? If it's a light, you can just replace the LED, pull off the cluster and the bulbs come right out.

+1 I'd look into the the cluster bulb before attempting to reach the sender unit.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

It has been overcast as hell here the past few days (and I leave for work in the dark, and get home in the dark), so every time I've looked at the display, its been in low light conditions. I finally had a chance to take a flashlight to the display and it looks like the display is working, and just the light is out. It is unreadable without a bright light shined on it, which is why I thought it was actually non-functioning. Thanks for the help. I'm going to replace the bulb next chance I get.

Here's a DIY to remove the gauge pod: http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarti...96_Cluster.htm Use plenty of towels to protect your dash and steering column so you don't scratch it up when pulling it out.
