Wanted to see if anyone out there has some insight to my dead gauge cluster.
I have a 98 MB9 1.5 VTEC-E Aerodeck that I just picked up last weekend. Everything was running fine with no issues. I recently swapped in a 98 VTi cluster to add some small touches to the interior. Swapped out a few dead mini bulbs here and there, and it was good to go. Took the car out for a drive and all the lights, needles, and functions were on point.
This past evening I was working on the coil over suspension because it has to go to TUV December and because the the guy who had it before had it slammed and it was cringe-worthy driving it back over 500km to the in-laws house. So After raising and lowering the car to get the height I wanted I was finally done and I wanted to take the car out for a spin to heat and set the springs.
When I got into the car I noticed my accessory lights didn't come on, nor did my ebrake, etc. When I started the car up and drove to make a turn my turn signals weren't working, but my 4 way flashers were. Then I say that my temp gauge, gas gauge, RPM and KPH needles were moving either.
Since I don't have a manual I am a little stumped, and by the time one comes in I have to fly back to America.
Anybody have any insight on what to check and where? Since it's late I'll check the fuses again in the morning.
