Cluster: fucked

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Seriously, did this happen suddenly while driving, i.e. speedo needle dropped to zero; or began on startup one day? Is the SES light on while the engine is running? Pulling codes is the first place to start if so. You can do that with a paper clip on a 93 (assuming you havent changed the engine/harness/ECM from the stock 93 ones:

If no SES light, then get a diagram and poke around looking for a chafed wire between the cluster > body harness > junction to the engine harness in the pass. side kick panel.

Long shot, but if you have access to another compatible cluster you can do a swap test (throw a used part at it). Not sure, but I BELIEVE the 93-96 is the same pinout for Z28s. Here's a cluster pinout diagram if that's the case:

You n00b.. You mean the defibrillator

OP, I would see if you can try another cluster. They are relatively sensitive. I know mine is all sorts of messed up (RPM's and MPH is off by almost double). Good luck!

Maybe you moved the needles around on accident when you were painting it? It looks terrible btw.. IMO of course.

He's here to figure out what went wrong with his gages. NOT to ask if you guys approve or disapprove of his red overlay. Quit being douchebags and post constructively. If he likes his red overlay, that's what he likes.

OP, try to find a functional cluster and swap them to see if your cluster is the issue. It's a good starting point and could save you from countless hours of tearing **** apart and tracing/inspecting wires.

When did this start? If you took it apart, your best bet might be to test it with a good dash cluster.

Its gonna be hard to find another 93 Camaro cluster so just find any cluster from 93-96 to test out and see if your cluster is dead . Did you drop it or jolt it hard when it was out of the car ?
