datzenmike Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 No manufacture sells them. Wrecking yards only places the sell them. Member here might have one must place an ad. If looking to buy try here... http://community.ratsun.net/classifieds/category/7-electrical/?sort_key=date_added&sort_order=desc 1 Quote Link to comment

Lockleaf Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Go to the classifieds on here and put a want ad there. Why do you need an instrument cluster? If none of them are working at all there's a pretty good chance something else is your problem Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Gas and temp gauges stopped working? Quote Link to comment
Kennyt Posted September 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 U got it datzenmike. I do have another issue tho. No lights come on when headlights are on. No oil light,alt light. Gas light will come on when headlights are on. High beam light will work tho. Confused!!! 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 If only the two gauges this would be easy. Change the forth fuse over from the left hand side. Do not trust it by only looking at it, replace. This fuse powers both gauges, oil and charge lamps and more. No lights come on with the headlights? What lights don't come on... tail, side marker, license??? Change the 13 fuse over from the left OR third fuse over from the right).. 2 Quote Link to comment
Kennyt Posted September 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 I will try that today. No lights on dash at all. No instrument lights either except high beam indicator. Fuel gauge works when headlights are turned on. No signal indicator either on cluster 1 Quote Link to comment
Kennyt Posted September 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 All exterior light work. Head lights. Tail lights. Turn signals. Just not on cluster 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Then the plug in connectors may be loose or bad contact. Sometimes just unplugging/plugging them does the job. Fuel gauge when headlights on is ominous... that isn't normal. 1 Quote Link to comment

720inOlyWa Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 I have come across one cluster where evidently a large amount of Dr. Pepper leaked behind the cluster at some point in the past. The syrup that remained after everything dried screwed up the plug connection (all of them!) in the back. I had to tear it down clear to the removal and cleaning of the printed circuit sheet. But you have had the cluster out, and so you would have seen the printed copper foil circuit sheet if it was badly contaminated, right?... In my case, it took a whole lot of fussy cleaning, but this turned out to be my best cluster in the end. Clusters are sort of like currency, or a weed stash. As soon as you get strung out on the 720 (or, fill in the blank), you start collecting clusters and cluster parts, like you are going to need them all someday. ebay sellers know this, of course. I myself have a story for each of the clusters I have nabbed, and I have never paid more than $65 for the full set. $40 was my best score. I am patient. I check the junk yards often. I am sorry that I don’t have anything I want to sell really, but I think I am finally fairly sated in my own clusterquest. I have spares of everything and good stuff in both trucks. Then I will see a whole cluster, with tach and clock, for a decent price, it makes my visa card twitch. Keep an eye peeled, because they are still fairly easy to score at a decent price if you look. Junk yards are still the best price option, I find. Happy hunting. 1 Quote Link to comment
