How to change the "cluster" fuse that controls the dashboard gauges?

The owners manual identifies this part only as cluster. It controls the fuel, gas, temp, speedometer, etc on the dashboard. However, it does not show where it is located

I have a aveo with the steering on the right side (in india we drive on the left lane). when you open the driver door you will find a removable section on the dasboard that touches the door when closed. you can see it only when the driver door is open. this is where the fuse is located.

SOURCE: Need to locate fuses for dashboard gauges

GET A GOOD FUSE TESTER, TEST EVERY FUSE. 2 FUSEBOXES. ONE UNDER THE HOOD, ONE INSIDE THE VEHICLE. IGNITION SWITCH SHOULD BE ON WHILE TESTING THE FUSES. THE FUSES CAN BE TESTED WHILE STILL IN THE BOX. THERE ARE TEST POINTS FACING OUT. POWER ON ONE SIDE ONLY, BAD FUSE. POWER ON BOTH SIDES, GOOD FUSE. POWER ON NEITHER SIDE SPARE FUSE.

SOURCE: My Speedometer and temp gauge are failing.

The gauges all come as one unit. And yes you have to remove a rather large part of the dash trim to get at the cluster(gauges). It can be tricky to remove the trim without breaking it. The trim that has to be removed is one piece from one side of the car to the other. there are a few bolts in each end the two above the cluster. The rest is held in with tension retainers.

i had this happen to my base model 1984 el camino (previous owner installed the ss guage panel because he wanted the tach).. i had gotten my transmission rebuilt then 2 days later as im heading to school i realize my gas guage, tach, and voltmeter werent moving.. i checked the fuse, tried everything i could to fix it... ended up being a corroded wire running along the transmission... so yeah, check the fuse labelled "gauges".. i the fuse is fine then have it checked by a repair shop unless you can get to the wiring yourself

Fuel gauge not working. fuel gauge not working
If your fuel gauge is not working, there are several potential reasons for this issue:
1. Faulty Fuel Sending Unit:
-The fuel sending unit is a component in the fuel tank that measures the amount of fuel and sends signals to the gauge.
2. Faulty Gauge or Instrument Cluster:
- The gauge itself or the entire instrument cluster may be malfunctional. Electrical issues, such as a blown fuse, could also be a factor.
3. Wiring Issues:
-Broken or damages wiring between the fuel sending unit, gauge, and instrument cluster can disrupt the communication and cause the gauge to malfunction.
4. Bad Ground Connection:
-A poor ground connection can lead to inaccurate readings on the fuel gauge. Check for loose or corroded ground connections.
5. Fuse Problem:
-A blown fuse in the vehicle's fuse box could disrupt the electrical circuit that powers the fuel gauge. Consult the vehicle's manual to locate and check the fuse related to fuel system.

Dodge nitro R/T 2007 gas gauge ALWAYS says FULL
If the gas gauge of your 2007 Dodge Nitro R/T always shows a full reading, there could be a few possible causes for this issue:
  1. Faulty fuel level sensor: The fuel level sensor is responsible for measuring the amount of fuel in the tank and sending that information to the gauge on the dashboard. If the sensor is malfunctioning or stuck in the "full" position, it will consistently display a full reading on the gas gauge.
  2. Wiring or electrical issue: There might be a problem with the wiring or electrical connections between the fuel level sensor and the gauge. If there is a loose or damaged wire, it could prevent the accurate transmission of fuel level data to the gauge.
  3. Instrument cluster malfunction: The problem could be with the instrument cluster itself, where the gas gauge is located. If there is a fault in the cluster's circuitry or display, it may cause the gauge to always show a full reading.
  4. Gauge calibration issue: In some cases, the gas gauge might be improperly calibrated, resulting in it always displaying a full tank. Recalibrating the gauge might resolve the issue.
To address this problem, it is recommended to take the vehicle to a qualified mechanic or an authorized Dodge service center. They will have the necessary diagnostic tools and expertise to identify the exact cause of the issue and perform the required repairs. They may need to inspect the fuel level sensor, check the wiring connections, or evaluate the instrument cluster to resolve the problem.

Where is the fuel gauge fuse on a 1998 Buick Century?
There is not a single fuse for the fuel gauge , there are a few that power up the whole instrument cluster ! If there were a fuse out more then just your fuel gauge wouldn't work .You probably have a bad sending unit in the fuel tank or the stepper motor for that gauge is bad ! The thing to do would be to take to the dealer or some other capable ASE certified repair shop that has a up scale scan tool that can check codes in the instrument cluster ! Or you can take a chance an replace the instrument cluster !
Fuel Gage Inaccurate or Inoperative
Inspect for any stored instrument cluster Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). Are any DTCs stored in memory?

The gauges on dashboard are not working
Sound like a fuse blow problem; I suggest check and test each fuse acco4rding with the fuse description in the Owners Manual.

Other choice could be some loss harnesses connections, will need take off the dashboard to check it.

Hope this helps.

Location on panel for the fuse that controls fuel gage
your entire gauge cluster should be controlled by one fuse so if fuse is bad all gauges and lights would be inop. If you still have the owners manual it will have a listing of each fuse and the circuits it controls.

Changing dashboard light
Hi,

This solution will be of great help to you,even in the case of future or other dashboard problems;
Instrument cluster consists of electronic analog gauges, various warning lights, and optional tachometer. Vehicles equipped with tachometer have an electronic vacuum fluorescent transmission range indicator (PRND3L),odometer and trip odometer display. Vehicles without tachometer are equipped with a cable-operated transmission range indicator.
Instrument cluster is equipped with the following warning lights:
Battery voltage.
Cruise (speed control).
Door ajar.
Fasten seat belt.
Lift gate ajar.
Low fuel level.
Low windshield and washer level.
Traction Control.
The Body Control Module (BCM), which receives input from various sensors, sends display information to instrument cluster and operates gauges. Instrument cluster incorporates a self-test diagnostic feature to identify electronic problems. BCM, Powertrain Control Module (PCM), and Transmission Control Module (TCM) are continuously monitored by the diagnostic system.

SELF-DIAGNOSTICS
With ignition off, press and hold TRIP and RESET buttons while turning ignition switch to ON position. Continue to hold TRIP and RESET buttons until odometer window displays CODE (approximately 5 seconds). If problem exists, system will display diagnostic trouble codes. See DIAGNOSTIC CODE CHART table. If no problem exists, Code 999 (end test) will be displayed.
DIAGNOSTIC CODE CHART
CodeDescription
110.......Cluster Memory Fault
111.......Cluster Calibration Fault
905.......No CCD Bus Message From TCM
921.......Odometer Fault From BCM
940.......No CCD Bus Message From PCM

After diagnostic code display ends, instrument cluster will go into each of the following tests in order:
Dim test.
Calibration test.
Odometer segment test.
Electronic Transmission Range indicator segment test.
Dim Test
CHEC-0 will be displayed in odometer window. Instrument cluster will dim Vacuum Florescent (VF) display. If VF displays do not dim, a problem in instrument cluster exists. See BODY CONTROL COMPUTER TESTS in BODY CONTROL COMPUTER article.
Calibration Test
CHEC-1 will be displayed in odometer window. Each of instrument cluster gauges will move sequentially through each calibration point. See GAUGE CALIBRATIONS table. If gauge needle is not calibrated properly, a problem in instrument cluster exists.
Odometer Segment Test
CHEC-2 will be displayed in odometer window. Each segment of odometer will light sequentially. If any segment does not light, replace instrument cluster.
Electronic Transmission Range Indicator Segment Test
CHEC-3 will be displayed in odometer window. Each segment of electronic transmission range indicator will light sequentially. If any segment does not light, replace instrument cluster.
