So... car is mostly back together but now I have no working gauges on my cluster.

Was working when it was parked. OEM ground from head and into wiring harness not touched.

Is there a trans ground? (trans was swapped)

Help me get gauges working so I can drive this smokey shitbox and retune it. Gotta try a restrictor and see if that fights the smoke... or if I need to swap turbo :(.

I have a track event tomorrow... and am SO close to being ready.

HELP :P

aim: splitime if you want to help live :P

 

Does anyone know what, if any, the gauge cluster wiring is connected with under the dash? I might have jostled something while moving wideband wires by ac/fan unit.... but visibly everything checks out.

Argh.

 

Did you check the fuses? I know neogenesis2004 gauges were not working and it turned out the fuse had blown.

 

Yah, checked fuses, redid grounds.

I figured it out. Thankfully I have a donor/test miata in the driveway. Just for the hell of it... i swapped gauges. BOOM works.

I did closer inspection of the original cluster. Two torn tracks on the rightside plug, right were they bend and go into their receptacle.

Learn from me kiddos.... be gentle when removing clusters. Or you'll rip ****.

Jumpering the two now and putting original back in.
