Thread: Odometer and speedometer not working

    Odometer and speedometer not working

    Anyone know how these work. I had the engine and tranny out along with the complete interior. Hoping i just forgot to hook up a connector some where. Or is it possible i need a new instrument cluster?

    If its in the cluster (94-98) i know what parts you need to fix it. Its rather expensive, about $50 to replace the gears you need. Let me know if it doesn't work after you plug everything in and I can help you. Very easy install.

    i do have a 94. So i'll pull the plug off the back of the cluster and check pin 5(gray and black for power. And this wire controls both of them?
