All 4 of my gauges on the right side of cluster are pegged and not working....everything else on the cluster works perfect....just these 4....any suggestions?
Are they all tied in?
Thanks in advance

Ok, your gauges are 'direct read', as in, they get what they are supposed to display directly from the sensors. Since all four of 'em there are not working properly, that's gotta be something with the cluster..... I would be tempted to pull it out, check connections, and give it a thorough inspection for any possible problems. (burnt circuit board, for instance...)

 

All connections are good on the back.....I'm going to try and find a cluster to swap and see.....also, what is this.....is making a noise, like surging/thumping sound.....thanks

 

Don't know on that, should show up on the vacuum diagram though??

 

That thing looks like the vapor canister purge valve.

 

That's what it is.....I've read the "clicking " sound I'm hearing is normal, and I've read its not.....don't know which, lol

 

It's a 'duty cycle' solenoid. So, the clicking is indeed normal.
