Sorry.. Gauge / instrument cluster not working
Sorry guys I know this had been touched on a million times, but I can't understand what's happened to my gauge cluster.
Basically I have an 86.5 928 and it has given me such a headache and HUGE bills since I bought it.. but it's so close to working perfectly! I was playing around with some fuses (as you do) and the gauge cluster was working perfectly before hand. I then went back and everything is dead on there (apart from lighting).. I cant help but think I must have knocked something and yes I checked the fuses relating and they are fine. Any pointers? Also one of my solenoids seems to be a bit noisy, I assume it's gone bad? Thanks in advance

I have seen where the actual fuse is good but the connection it makes to the upper and lower contacts is bad - try spinning the fuses or remove them and SLIGHTLY bend the contacts toward ach other - if all you touched were the fuses the problem should be there ...but it could be something else that just happened to coincide with your touching the fuses - also look at the ground connections above the fuse panel - make sure they are clean - there is a box under the dead pedal that controls the gauges - finally the ribbon connections in the pod are a weak spot in the system - good luck - very pretty car
