Instrument Cluster/ 4 Wheel Drive Issues.
I just got this vehicle and this stuff just stopped working.
The gauges that dont work are temp, fuel, and battery voltage. I have a low battery light on along with low fuel light. The temp gauge stays at the start point and dont move.
The other part that is wierd is that the box next to the cluster for selecting 4 wheel drive does not work either.
I have tested the alternator both at the back of it and at the battery i am getting the full 14.2v it is suppose to have.
I have checked the thermostat, and water pump. Along with temp of coolant when vehicle has been warmed up for 15-20mins, all are working as its suppose to. Not over heating at all, never gets higher than 180F.
All fuses have been checked both under hood and inside the vehicle and all are good.
I think my issue is in the dash but not sure were to start trying to figure it out.
