madmax Posted October 20, 2003 Report Posted October 20, 2003 How does one gain access to the instrument cluster on a 88GP? I have an intermittant problem with the digital speedometer that cuts in and out. If I beat on the dash, it comes back on. Thanks. Max Quote
Broan Posted October 20, 2003 Report Posted October 20, 2003 There's a couple phillips screws on the bottom of the dash above the cluster, I think that's all the fasteners that hold the dashpad on, the you pull the dashpad off... I think that's it. Quote
NORBI Posted October 20, 2003 Report Posted October 20, 2003 If you get it out you can change it to a newer style with analog gauges, just plugs in and works i did that in my GP when i had it. Quote
Gearhead43 Posted October 20, 2003 Report Posted October 20, 2003 Just under the dash pad near the top of the cluster, there's 2 phillips screws. AND there's one 7 mm screw located inside the glove box hole... Oprn the glove box look up in the hole (use a flashlight if necessary) at the top and you'll see it. Once you have those 3 fasteners off, pull up on the front edges of the dash on each side to pop the clips loose. Then pull the dash toward you and it'll come off. The digital cluster may need to be redone. Quote
GRANDFURY Posted October 22, 2003 Report Posted October 22, 2003 So if you just pull the old digital cluster out and put in a regular one it will work prefectly fine? Quote
Gearhead43 Posted October 22, 2003 Report Posted October 22, 2003 If you use an a 90-93 Cluster it would... But if the car is an 88-89 and you swap a 90-93 cluster , the low fuel light will not work. Quote
Slade901 Posted October 23, 2003 Report Posted October 23, 2003 Are you going to fix the Digital Cluster by yourself or replacing it with another one? A lot of times the Digital Speedometer intermittent problem is due to an IC (Integrated Chip) that needs re-soldering its solder connections. Check my similar problem http://www.geocities.com/southbeach/sands/2476/automobile/digital_instrument_cluster.htm Quote
GRANDFURY Posted October 23, 2003 Report Posted October 23, 2003 But would the fuel gauge read correct? I dont like my digi cluster I think it looks cheap :oops: Quote
Gearhead43 Posted October 23, 2003 Report Posted October 23, 2003 The fuel Gauge will read correctly... Just the LOW fuel Light (LFL) will not work (You can pull out the LFL bulb and forget about it) Quote
