My dash light and insturments will not work. I have changed the fuses and still nothing. ?? I have a 96 Dodge Ram

 

i have the sma problem right now... i took everthing apart, put it all back together. and i can not get mine to work, but i did get the rpms, fuel, and oil pressure to work. but the temp, speed and the other one on the left side will not work for the life of me

 

Do you get any codes or anything? I had this problem and got the "nobus" code. Took it to a dealer and let them figure it out. They pulled some fuses and stuff,and pulled the cluster. Put it back together and it started working again. They said either my cluster or pcm "could be" going bad

 

there is a silver looking box at the left backside of engine,
pull the three wire harness clips wait 2 minutes reconnect this will work

 

could we get a pic of this and what to pull? it would be very helpful

 

well i tried tht and it didnt work for me. you were talking about the ecm right? there were three good size plugs that plugged into a siler box on the passengers side of the truck?

 

That is the pcm you disconnected, on the pass. side. And you are lucky you didn't damage it if you didn't pull the neg. battery cable first. When some one says "the silver thing" or any comment similar, I would research it first before doing anything they say.

 

well yea. i did disconnect the battery. i just didnt type that, i did the battery, the ecm disconnect and teh new o2 sensors at the same time, then reconnceted the ecms and then the battery and took it for a ride. didnt clarify that but yes. i disconnect the battery before messing with any part of the electrical system just because i know that alot of stuff can be messed up if done wrong, but thanks. even though it still didnt do anything

 

Well, I didn't disconnect the battery.....but it does not appear to have hurt anything. My gages still do not work though. I will try to get to Autozone to check the codes this week and let you know. Thanks
