New Dash, problems...
I bought this dash new in the box from another board member.
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=427018 I finally got it installed and so far I have run into a few quirks that I am sure I am just doing something wrong. -The temp gauge isnt reading anything at all (Wondering if the sending unit isnt working or possibly the sending unit is the wrong one to make the gauge work????) -No lights in the dash, turn signals work, but no illumination lights (Maybe bad headlight switch????) Anyone got any ideas on this???? |

Re: New Dash, problems...
First thing I would check is the circuit board contacts to make sure they're not all mangled or loose. Insure the push in connector is inserted properly and making good contact. On one occasion I had one that was no in all the way and in another the circuit board contacts were mangled up.

You aren't switching from an idiot light cluster to gauges are you? If so, you need to change some wires around on the cluster plug. You would also need to change the temp sender in the block. LockDoc

Re: New Dash, problems...
It is in a 67 so... possibly! Do you know which wires need to be switched so that I can check to see if they are in the right location???

Re: New Dash, problems...
You may need to start by finding the sending unit to determine what you have. Usually located on the head or in some newer engines on the t-stat housing.
Look at this pic for connections and you may need to follow the wiring. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...58&postcount=5
