Please Help!! Electrical issue after battery change
So I got in a pinch today. Was at the mall and battery died. l let sears replace the battery ( it was def dead) and when I was driving home I noticed that my display on my dash wasnt working. My clock would not display but that radio stations would display fine. My tac and fuel gage also are not working. My temp is displaying in C not F. Is there a reset of the system I can do or did they blow a fuse? Of course this is on a sun and nothing is open. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!!! |
There are a few fuses in the glove box for the instrument cluster, it would be worth checking. If that is not the issue then It might be worth unplugging the cluster from behind for a few minutes to fully discharge the internal capacitors etc. as this has brought some clusters back after they went fully out and nothing was working on it. The cluster is held in with 2 t10 torx screws at the top of it, then just pulls out. Hope that helps and good luck!

I was told by a car audio guy that these cars need reset after batt disconect, he said to disconect batt and touch the pos and net wires together, this will cause a small spark and is normal, then reconnect batt. I don't know if this will help but he is a pro installer and it couldn't hurt to try.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I actually checked the fuses for the instrument cluster and they were all fine. Then checked again and everything started working. So I guess removing the fuses and putting them back in reset everything that was not working.
