Question
Hi Roland, I have Chrysler 92 New Yorker 3.3 and I have problem with the instrument Cluster, I even changed, I have Lights on it, bud the gauges do not work, Gas, Sped ect, in the morning light up for a good 30 seconds after go off, What did you think is going on???? Thanks mil for your help. julio.

Answer
Hi Julio,
I have a couple of questions first:
You have changed the cluster, correct? But is this a cluster that has mechanical gauges or is this an electronic cluster with digital readout gauges?
Also what do you mean by "..in the morning light up for a good 30 seconds after go off".
What is lighting 'up' for a good 30 seconds?  And what goes 'off' after that? Are you talking about the gauges, or the warning lights, or the variable brightness illumination lights?
Please explain exactly what is wrong. I just don't understand exactly.
You might want to check fuse #8 (5 amp) in the fuse box under the dash as that would take out the gauges were it blown.
