02 Dead Guage Cluster

[Adamthe3rd]

2002 Limited
Yesterday all the gauges and dash lights seem to just not work when I started it. Checked all fuses, they seem to be fine. Cruise doesn't seem to work either.
So far I have checked all the fuses. Figured out the only lights that seem to work in the dash are the turn signal lights indicators. The high beams work but the indicator on the dash doesn't. The dimmer seems to work, but only for the stereo as all other lights are out. Everything else windows, locks, dome lights, etc. all seem to work fine.

What should I look at next?.
I was going to try to get under the dash tonight but I am not sure what I shoul d be looking at.

Thanks,
Adam

Hi Adam,
Welcome to "The Family".
Sounds like the multi plug connector has come off the back of the clocks if all the fuses are ok. Not much of a job really. Take the grab handle off the door pillar along with the piece of trim that runs down the door pillar, lift up the panel that runs along the top of the dash, take the clock surround off and then pull the gauge unit out and check the multi plug is located and in there nice and tight. If the clocks come out without having to disconnect it, it sounds like the plug wasn't in properly as it should lock in when you press it in. Obviously check the gauges before you stick it all back together! No guarantee that it is that but it's a good place to start.
Good Luck,

Steve :smokin:
