Instrument Panel

Instrument cluster contains a speedometer/odometer, tachometer (if equipped), fuel gauge, temperature gauge and various warning lights placed in a row at bottom of instrument cluster. See Fig 1 .

Instrument cluster gauge amplifier is part of low fuel level warning/anti-slosh module and provides delay in fuel gauge to prevent fluctuation in fuel gauge pointer as a result of fuel movement in tank. The module is a small printed circuit board which latches into a pocket on back of instrument cluster. See Fig 3 . There are no provisions for calibration or adjustment of low fuel level warning/anti-slosh module.

When ignition switch is turned to ON position, following warning indicators will light momentarily for function proof:
