GENERAL DESCRIPTION
INSTRUMENT PANEL AND GAGES
INSTRUMENTS
Instruments consist of fuel gage, temperature
The instrument panel on most cars is a sing,e unit indicator light, generator light, oil pressure indicator
design and all parts attach to the main instrument light, and speedometer. See Section 9F for optional
panel with clips and screws. To service the instrument Gages and tachometer. Service on instruments
panel and components see on-car service information, can be obtained through authorized repair stations.
However, knowledge of instrument circuit checks will
PRINTED CIRCUIT
All models are equipped with printed circuits
which supply current to most instrument panel lights
and instruments. These circuits are made of copper foil
which is die cut and bonded to a polyester base film
(usually mylar). The printed circuit electrical power is
supplied by a connector containing several wires, as
shown in the instrument panel wiring harness
installation instructions. The connector also helps
retain the printed circuit to the speedo cluster. The rest
of the circuit is retained by additional connectors (if
used) and snap-in
bulbs/sockets. For individual
printed circuit diagrams, see Section
8A-80/8 1/82/83,
'Instrument Panel'. help
in determining if operating difficulties lie in the
instrument itself or its related circuit.
Instruments have been designed for easy removal
by elimination of separate wiring. With the wiring
provisions integrated with the instrument panel wiring,
the instruments can be removed after removing the
trim and lens.
SPEED SENSORS
There are three speed sensors currently in use:
1. PINION GEAR; used in mechanical systems
2. PHOTO SPEED SENSORS; used in mechanical
systems
3. PM GENERATOR; used in electronic systems
