The next       morning the needles in both don't move. All other lights, signals, horn etc       work fine. Checked all the fuses behind the panel next to the brake pedal, all       fuses under the hood and        even checked behind the glove box but those seemed to be for the AC and       Heater. Anybody with any ideas/tips? If I have too I am prepared to start       digging under the dash for loose/frayed wiring but I need to know where to       look to find the correct wires.                     Here is an update. I searched other Toyota truck forums last night and found a       post on one where a fellow had the same problem as me and he found a solution.       He removed the gauge cluster from the dash so he could access the rear of the       cluster. He found        a couple of the screws that hold the circuit board down and hold the Temp and       Fuel gauges also provide a ground point. He found these screws loose. After he       tightened them everything came back to life.               So, this afternoon, I tried the same thing. But none of the screws on my PCB       were loose. So I loosened them and re-tightened them all just the same. I       re-assembled everything and found that my gauges worked again. I'm leaving       well enough alone.               --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
