Need gas/temp gauge part of instrument cluster '76

[mofares]

If anyone has an working instrument cluster for sale, I would be interested, specifically the gas guage section fr my '76. My turn signal light all of a sudden stopped working, it's not the bulb. Took it off looks ok but could be soldering or something. Thx.

Defective turn signal relay could certainly be the culprit here.Common symptom of that component.

I have LED relay and all blinkers working outside, can hear clicks, hazard works but no light on the sockets except red Alternator light.

Truest way to test is, with a test light at the main plug in at the gauge cluster. Those PCB;s rarely go bad.

Are you missing the small incandescent bulbs in the cluster?

 

What is an LED Relay?

Are you using LED bulbs for your tun signals?

 

No "O" only "L" at startup?

If "L" is lit when the car is running you have an electrical fault with the Alternator or Voltage Regulator.

"B" is the turn signal for left, right & hazards

"F" is the high beams.

I have a cluster from a '73. Speedo just died but other gauges are good.

 

Not sure if the '76 has crosshairs? The '73 does not.

adawil2002 I have 4 incandescent bulbs in O, L, B and F sockets except for dash lights which are dimmable LED's from Superbright LED's and have been woring perfectly for years since I upgraded to LED's. The dash lights  work and L comes on during ignitiona nd goes off as usual. O, B, F not lighting. I also have LED bulbs for my brake, turn signal, parking, license plate and rear lights hence the LED relay upgrade for the blinkers (otherwise light's wont' work). There is a big thread on that.

 

Took out guages and there is a gap in the solder. Picture attached so if anyone has a working spare gauge, I would like to buy it from you.  I used to have so many guages laying around no idea what happened to them. Thanks.

'76 cluster does have cross hairs.

Mofares,

     Yep,that's fried.   I have lots of gauge clusters. PM me,I'll get you set up.

I have the gage you need. $50 plus shipping.

I don't mean to thread hijack, but I swapped to a Silver Dollar cluster and by some weird miracle the speedo is almost dead accurate now in spite of my 195 50R15 tires and the 3.91 LSD w/ 5 spd.

 

I was totally expecting to have to pull the speedo again to get it calibrated so I didn't even bother to look @ the ratio stamped on the back - but it's perfect!

Great.
