Help with ls1 gauges in foxbody ok ive had my car running for a couple of months now and im really wanting to go back and fix the little things that have been getting on my nerves.....
i used the 99 camaro gauges in my foxbody and then only ones i have got to work is the oil pressure, and the voltage........
i know the fuel pressure gauge will not work im not worried about that at all..... but water temp, speedometer, tach ,and odometer do not work
any ideas what is wrong here??? I have went back through the wires going to the gauges twice now and all the power wires have power.... all the grounds check good
and i have HP tuners to tune the car and when i hook up the computer to it......... it shows all the gauges working in the vcm scanner water temp, speedometer, tach, all work.........
one last thing..... every once in a while when i go to turn the car off or start the car.......... the backlight for the odometer that is red will flash for a quick second and go right back off..... the mileage never shows tho.......
all help is a big thanks

Damn, that looks alittle like my gauges...lol. I really have no idea what's wrong with your cluster. But if it makes you feel any better, mine didn't work the first go-around either. I had the cluster laid out on the fender with the wiring diagram...... Finally got it.
Just go back and check your wiring diagram again. You will get it.

in between the obd port and the gauges is a little connector....... i dont really know what to call it.......... it has a purple wire going to the obd port and a grey wire going to the gauges
there are 2 blue wires on this connector that have been cut.........
1 is a light blue and 1 is a dark blue
do you know what these go to? maybe this is part of my problem
