Voltmeter Circuit Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1994 Chrysler LeBaron. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Voltmeter readings should indicate regulated alternator output or battery voltage, whichever is greater. To remove voltmeter from instrument cluster, remove cluster bezel from instrument panel.
  2. Remove gauge retaining screws (if equipped). Remove gauge by pulling straight out from cluster. DO NOT  turn or twist gauge when pulling, or severe damage to cluster pins will result.
  3. With ignition on, check for battery voltage at voltmeter (B+) pin in cluster. See Figure . Using ohmmeter, check for ground continuity at gauge ground pin of cluster. If voltage and ground are present, replace voltmeter.
  4. If voltage and ground are not present at pins, remove instrument cluster. See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Check for battery voltage and ground at appropriate cluster harness connectors. See Figure and Figure . See WIRING DIAGRAMS  .
  5. If voltage and ground are not present at cluster harness connectors, repair wiring as necessary. If voltage and ground are present at cluster harness connectors, check cluster for bent or broken terminal pins. If terminal pins are okay, replace cluster printed circuit board and retest.
