Temp/Oil Gauge Inoperative, Pointer Does Not Move

  1. Verify that temp/oil gauge is inoperative. If pointer does not move, go to next step. If pointer moves, perform TEMP/OIL GAUGE INACCURATE  test.
  2. Check power to cluster by turning ignition on. Observe all other gauges and warning lights for proper operation. If necessary, use voltmeter to check voltage at "B+" terminal of cluster connector.
  3. If other gauges and warning lights operate properly (voltage is present at cluster), perform TEMP/OIL GAUGE INACCURATE  test. If other gauges and warning lights do not operate properly (no voltage at cluster), repair wiring in power circuit.
