Dash problems

[bertha66]

A while back I posted that I was having a problem with the tach not working; now I find that none of the gauges are working. Gas gauge was reading a half tank and the temp gauge was on normal as if she was at running temp. And no tach. Also the auto on headlights are not coming on.
Engine runs fine and drives fine. Have changed out the computer and DIS module and the cam sensor. still no gauges!!!
any help will the great. Thanks

if you haven't already, start with the fuses in the interior fuse box. its hidden under the dash to the left of the steering column.

if the gauges are all fine, look for ground issues in the engine compartment. there are a couple of places where the harness has connections to the firewall - make sure they are all okay.

Thanks, and yes I did all of that. I'm thinking that I may pull the dash out of the other SHO and try it in it to see if the dash is working

ok, there are a couple of fuses in the under-hood fuse box that feed the interior fuse box. check those too.

almost always the issues you describe are a bad fuse or a bad ground issue...

I have pull all the fuses under the hood and under the dash, no bad ones. I there a ground under dash somewhere? I did not see one.

Check the headlight switch for a burning smell. Just sayin there's a small history of them melting down.

No burning smell in the car, but will check it out.
