Bake82 Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 still dont know what to do about mounting. Also does anyone have any ideas about the fuel light. It flckers at full and stays on all the time. the wire is wire into the fuel wire colored purple. That is the only non working thing Hmm...odd let me find out if that was happening before. But if it is something wrong with the unit, we'll be talking. Also in the few pics earlier on in the thread, there is pictures of where the mounting bracket mounts to the dash. There should be 3-4 7 mm screws holding it into the dash(not the dash pad) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockfangd Posted June 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 yeah i have tested the wire for the fuel twice, and the mounting plate i will have to work on. Any luck on the quote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy K Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 the mounting plate has been modified, and the original retainers were all removed as for the light, I have the same problem, I don't know where to find any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManicMechanic Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 The bulbs are replaceable. I want to say the numbers are either a 74 or 37. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockfangd Posted June 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 well see there was only one socket even in it when i bought the unit so all i can see is HU and the orange slider. lol. So i need the sockets and the bulbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManicMechanic Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 You should be able to use regular cluster sockets. You have a spare cluster laying around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy K Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 manic.... I have not found ones to fit! I haven't looked in any help section in AZ or anywhere yet.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManicMechanic Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 Even the small ones that use the tiny bulb? I shall investigate further tomorrow evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy K Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 manic.... I have not found ones to fit! I haven't looked in any help section in AZ or anywhere yet.... yeah, my pile of bulbs had not a single interchangable one, so the used cluster bulbs are a now go. but I have not attempted buying new ones.

rockfangd Posted June 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 well i have an extra ub3 right now but it is for sale. I will have to check my local yard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManicMechanic Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 After taking apart the dash in my car, I have come to the conclusion that the cluster sockets will fit with a slight modification. The locking tangs on the cluster lights are too long and will need to be cut and filed down to the correct length. Pics below. [attachment deleted by admin] Removed to free up storage space.

ManicMechanic Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 BTW, the bulbs are a 37. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockfangd Posted June 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 i actually have modified those sockets before lol. for my ub3. now i have spares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockfangd Posted June 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 can anyone tell me if i have to add a diode to my fuel wire for the hud to get the fuel to work. When i fill it full it goes off but flickers when i get to 25 miles and stays on by the time i get to 50 miles. So basically the gas gauge stays on for the whole tank of gas. ANyone else had this problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
