babyfacefitz Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 I would like some advice. I have some instrument issue. I went in to get the CEL light working, and found the CEL bulb missing. Got a replacement and now it stays on. Now once I have the panel together, my fuel gauge went to low and the with my driver door open, I get the signal for door open for the driver side and the rear hatch. I checked the wires,and all seem plug in. NOW that I read an old posting, it sounds like I have the ground issue like you mentioned. How did you fix that, put in a new ground wire to the battery? this site is great. michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babyfacefitz Posted October 22, 2005 Author Share Posted October 22, 2005 I cleaned the ground connections on the battery and the two leads. I took out the bulb for the CEL and my fuel gauge is not reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the plugs that go into the instrument cluster. MY guess is that one of them is not seated all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babyfacefitz Posted October 24, 2005 Author Share Posted October 24, 2005 the car is fixed now, the dealer mechanics put it back together correctly. My frustration levels got to me and I should have stuck with it. I assumed there was more too it, put back in the wire harnesses are simple enough. But what got me was the CEL light. It was one b/c the fuel gauge was not put in at some point and I turned the key. I should have cleared the codes after putting it together myself. This forum is great. learn from my mistake.
