GENERAL BESCRIP"T0N
RALLY GAGES
Figure I
The Rally Gage option, available on most models,
consists of an engine water temperature gage, an oil
pressure gage and a voltmeter.
These gages are incorporated into the instrument
cluster and replace the standard warning lamps. The
water temperature and oil pressure gages are
electrically operated from sending units mounted in the
cylinder head and oil filter base respectively. The
voltmeter registers regulated voltage, providing an
indication of the charging system's ability to keep the
battery charged. Continuous readings in either the high
or low voltage red bands can indicate improper voltage
regulation, broken or slipping alternator belt,
a shorted
alternator diode
or a defective battery. Readings in the
yellow band are normal with the engine idling or for
short periods after long engine cranking. However,
continuous readings in the yellow band can indicate
faulty operation. See Section
8A for diagnosis.
TACHOMETER
Figure 2
The tachometer indicates speed of the engine in
revolutions per minute (RPM). The engine can safely
be operated up to a maximum RPM as indicated by the
start of the red bar. Engine operation with tachometer
readings in the red area can lead to serious engine
damage.
Due to its dual-coil design, the tachometer may
not return to zero when the ignition
is turned oft: This
is
a normal condition and should not be diagnosed as
a problem in the tachometer.
TRIP ODOMETER
The trip odometer can be reset by twice fully
depressing the push button located on the right side of
the speedometer cluster. The first depression shows all
zeroes, and the second locks them in position. Both
depressions must be done to avoid possible half cycling

through a control switch on the instrument panel to
warm and defog the glass. A defogger timer, which is
also activated when the switch is depressed, allows
current flow through the rear window grid
for
approximately 10 minutes on first application
(approximately
5 minutes on subsequent applications)
and automatically shuts off the system. The system can
be turned off at any time by pushing the control switch
to the "OFF" position. The system is designed to
operate only when the ignition is on and must be
reactivated whenever the ignition has been turned off
and turned on again. Care should be exercised when
cleaning the inside rear glass so as not to scratch or
remove any of the grid material. Damage to the grid
could cause an open circuit. A monitor lamp in-the
control switch indicates power being fed to the rear
window grids so the operator can determine when the
system is operating.
The electric rear window defogger system
incorporates an electrical grid fused to the inside

TACHOMETER To check for moper o~eration of the rear window
1. Insure that the in-line or fuseblock fuse is not
blown. (See Section 8A for wiring information.)
2. With ignition off, remove the tachometer from
the cluster to gain access to the connectors. Turn
ignition on and check for
12 volts at the power
input connector
(pink/black) and no voltage at
ground (black). Connect a test light to the brown
wire which connects to the "TACH" terminal of
the distributor. With the engine idling, a test light
should light with approximately the same
intensity as when attached to
12 volts. As the
engine speed increases, the test light intensity
should decrease.
3. If proper signals are present at the connector,
replace the gage. If not, the problem is in the
wiring to the gage.
Some tachometers use a circuit shorting bar
to accommodate usage on several engine
models. If tachometer readings are
significantly wrong (for example, tach reads
2900 RPM with engine at 2000 RPM),
check for a shorting bar on the back of the
tach and insure proper position (Figure
3).
If position is correct, tach must be repaired.
(Not all tachometers use a shorting bar).
Due to its dual-coil design, the tachometer

Contact one probe of a test lamp to one of the left side
rear window garnish molding screws. With the other
test lamp probe tip removed (so as not to damage the
grid), contact the bare wire to the grid adjacent to the
garnish molding. The test lamp should glow at full
brilliance. Contact the same grid line midway across
the window. The lamp should glow at half brilliance.
Repeat the procedure for each grid line. If an open
circuit exists in a grid line between the left side and the
center, the test lamp will not glow. If there is an open
circuit between the center and the right side, the test
lamp will glow more brilliantly at the center than if the
line were unbroken.
Rear window grid repairs may be made by
following the procedure published in
Section 2H of the
Body Service Manual.

Service procedures regarding this mirror are
found in the Body Section of this manual.
Fig. 601 EGC Mirror
The EGC mirror has light sensors which monitor
activity in front and back of the mirror and compensate
for brightly lit or extremely dark driving conditions.
After glare is no longer detected in the night mode, a
short time delay is automatically activated, preventing
unnecessary changing as traffic moves in and out
behind the car.
As an added feature, the Automatic
Day/Night
Mirror will hold in the normal viewing mode whenever
the shift selector is placed in reverse. This assures you
of a bright, clear view while backing up.
The Automatic Mirror with EGC (Electornic
Glare Control) is a technological breakthrough using
advanced computer circuitry. It is powered by the
vehicle electrical system and requires no batteries or
scheduled maintenance. Power is drawn only when the
ignition is on.
Illuminated Distance Dial provides a full
range of adjustments to match your eye sensitivity.
Night Mode Indicator illuminates green when
mirror switches to the non-glare position.
