Temperature Gauge

Depending on production date, model and level of interior trim, certain vehicles will not be equipped with a temperature gauge.

Also some models incorporate an oil pressure gauge with another gauge like a fuel, voltmeter or temperature gauge. If 1 of these gauges fails, the entire combination gauge assembly must be replaced.

Justy

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the instrument cluster, and place on a flat, clean, well lighted surface.
3. Turn the cluster upside down and remove the case and circuit board retainer screws.
4. Remove the gauge-to-circuit board retainer nuts.
5. Carefully remove the circuit board assembly.
6. Lift the combination gauge assembly out of the cluster.

To install:

7. Install the combination gauge into the cluster assembly, making sure to insert the alignment tabs at the corners of the gauge.
8. Lay the circuit board over the rear of the cluster assembly, making sure to proper alignment the gauge-to-circuit board contact studs.
9. Install the retainer nuts to the gauge studs, and tighten snugly.
10. Install the circuit board and cluster assembly retainer screws.
11. Install the instrument cluster.
12. Connect the negative battery cable.
13. Start the vehicle, and make sure all the gauges work correctly.
