Description - LHD: Notes
The Instrument Cluster for this vehicle houses four analog gauges and has provisions for up to 22 indicators that are all controlled by the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). Refer to INDICATORS, INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, DESCRIPTION . On Dodge vehicles, the gauge graphics are gray against a black field except for a single red graduation at the high end of the gauge scale on both the engine temperature and fuel level gauges, and several red graduations at the high end of the gauge scale on the tachometer that designate the red line area. On Chrysler vehicles, the gauge graphics are white against a blue field. In each case, the graphics are clearly visible within the instrument cluster in daylight. When illuminated from behind by the panel lamps dimmer controlled cluster illumination lighting with the exterior lamps turned ON, the Dodge gauges all retain their unilluminated colors and appearance, while the Chrysler gauge fields acquire a blue-green appearance from the blue-green colored Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting.
Both the Dodge and the Chrysler clusters use a red gauge needle that has internal optical illumination. Gauge illumination for this cluster is provided by LED units soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The instrument cluster includes the following analog gauges:
- Engine Temperature Gauge (28)
- Fuel Gauge (17)
- Speedometer (15)
- Tachometer (1)
