Centre Gauge Console FAILED - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

redleader · 02-15-2014, 06:33 AM

So, I get in my Camaro 2010 1LT this morning and (after two years being installed as an Xtra) my 4 Cluster Gauges on my Centre Console are not working :-(

The TC Button and Cigarette Lighter are fine and working.

Where should I start to diagnose the problem please?

Thx,

Did you check the fuses? According to the manual for my 2011 the fuse for the cluster should be in the fuse box on the driver's side of the instrument panel, fuse F4. Still, if yours is aftermarket may be different. Good luck!

Thank you rocknroll_jeph,

I have checked and swapped the 10A F4 fuse and ... no change :-(
Loose connection on the console next?

That's what I would do. Work backwards... I always am looking for excuses to take my toys apart anyway. Good luck!

you could try hooking a code reader up and see if it's throwing an error message, If it is that "Could" give you a place to start.

Thank you all, FIXED now! :-)

I took it all apart...

... and plugged it back together ... all Alive and well again.

Cold Weather?, Loose Connection? Knocked Loose a bit?
(I think it was the plug actually in the back of the internal 4 Gauges housing area itself FYI).

Thanks for being there :-) √√
