The red electrial connector on the main circuit board (of instrument cluster panel) has one and/or several soldered pins that have broken away or become loose at the soldered area. The soldered connections may look o.k., however, under a magnifying glass you can see a circular crack all around the protruding soldered pin. Fire up the soldering iron- use a fine point, add a tad of new rosin core solder and fix the crack. There may be trouble codes associated with this condition: P1695 and/or P1698; when you go to pull the Instument cluster out of the dash, jiggle to wire connector at the back of the IC with key 'on', and look at the odometer; if it flashes on/off, this is most likely the problem
I would check the junction box under the hood to see if the bus fuse is blown. also check under the dash and check the fuses there as well. please rate this
you will the have to remove the cluster and check the connections behind it. also check the harnesses under the dash as well as the hood. if these are good your cluster board has an issue at the point where the bconnector plugs into it. the main board will have to be replaced.you will the have to remove the cluster and check the connections behind it. also check the harnesses under the dash as well as the hood. if these are good your cluster board has an issue at the point where the bconnector plugs into it. the main board will have to be replaced.
