Thank you, Steve!

I decided to open up the instrument cluster since none of the other wiring tests seemed to be leading anywhere. I took the tachometer off first and underneath i found two spots that look like they may have burn marks. Can anyone tell me what these pieces are, and if they have in fact blown or...

This blue cylinder with the silver top may have blown

Behind tachometer

Behind tachometer

To the left of the blue cylinder, still behind tachometer

No more error reading for this piece and the car starts now

Bottom lights work (battery, check engine, glow plugs, seatbelt, high beams), as well as blinkers. No speedometer, gas gauge, tachometer, digital odometer and whatever the other digital reading is. No movement in needles at all, they all stay like this no matter if car is off or on.

Only a few pins? See pic of the blue plug, only one wire goes to it, not sure if that’s correct?

All pins seem to be in good shape. I did apply some dielectric silicone grease, no change so far.

Connected good ground from #3 wire to #5 bad wire to see if instrument cluster works w good ground.

A whole lotta white. Old and very stiff.

Will repair these afterwards

The T28 is the white one. The blue one only has one wire?

Just using what tools and pieces my dad has laying around, I know this does not look very good 😆

Original owner is my exboyfriend’s mom who lives in New Zealand, the last 8 years it was only driven when she’s here. Had a brief phase at start of pandemic where bf drove it 45 miles to work and then back again daily. Works great as daily driver, but there’s a few things I’d like to repair.

You can’t read the wiring numbers while it’s in the housing, and it was a bit tricky to get the housing off. Only worked when I’d given up and gave it a big tug in frustration 😆 Seems to be a theme with this car
