I recently picked up a 85 cutlass rally cluster.Unknown condition . Is there anyway to bench test to see if this cluster works
Yes I remember you. Hope all is well! Still running the 455. I like your dash idea . I was looking to make the dash more stock apearingI would start by checking for broken tracks on the rear plastic and copper circuit board. If that checks out solider a jumper on the orange tach jumper in the 8cyl position if you are still running the bbo . I forgot your name but you might remember me from years ago when I donated the console shift plate and you gave me the a/c brackets. If you are looking for a change to more stock appearing I would put your autometer gauges in a stock bezel. Here is mine. I can probably get a better pic tomorrow if you need but it's basically 33/8 tach and speedo 2 1/16 for the rest. Much better than the factory gauges . View attachment 152248
Thanks for the offer. I was able to get a hold of a couple of connectors and the wiring schematic. A side from a bunch of bad bulbs . The gauges all respond as they shouldI made a test setup for the rallye cluster. It has the connectors for the rear and test loads for the gauges. If ya wanna borrow it, I could send it to ya. You just hook it to a source of 12V and it powers the dash lights, the turn signals, the high beam indicator, the fault lights, the tach goes to 0 and all the gauges read in the middle of their ranges. That is, if they all work. Anything that doesn't work right becomes immediately obvious.
