Hello people;

97 Eclipse 420A, off white, dvd player,

I was told to get ignition working before i mess w/ engine. Wires were hanging out of gauge assembly like parents in bikinis. Red wires, yellow wires, white wires.

I took of gauge assembly, and I found four white wires hanging off of the guage assembly. They were connected bar one on the right side. There were two sets of wirings in either side of the gauge housing that were not connected. Also there was a small yellow wire on the right side that was not connected as well as a black one. I looked through FSM, couldn't figure out what this person had done. Need explanatory help.


You can see a small yellow wire with a red sheath emitting its demonic presence from underneath a yellow temple. This I believe is the beast. However, my expertise is limited to potato chips and their flavors.

I have rubbed the magic lamp, it has done as you commanded.

Edit: Maybe I should recap...

The gauge assembly (that which contains the meters) has FOUR wires hanging down, they are all white. Each wire has TWO wires, making a total of EIGHT wires. The only set of wires that isn't connected to something is the bottom right set of wires hanging off the gauge assembly.

Here is the mystery: There are two sets of wires, also two other single wires, that are not connected to the gauge assembly. Both sets have a black wire, that is grounded, two yellow wires which look to have some sort of metal connectors at their frayed ends, and also one red wire that is bare.

I believe both of these sets are for the SRS, especially because the SRS light did not light up. Also the FSM seems to suggest as much, though I can't be certain. The FSM shows these wiring but they aren't very clear, and none of them are shown in the position of underneath the gauge assembly. Also the yellow wire with the red sheath, I have no clue what that is for, it is certianly not in the FSM, the black is also a mystery, though probably a ground.

If anyone knows what these wires do, or probably do, any hint would be great. Also, is it possible that the ignition isn't turning over because the SRS was not connected? The FsM did not reference this problem. Thanks!

The speedometer is not supposed to have any wires at all coming off of it. It should just slide and plug itself in where it mounts. Someone at some point in time either tried putting some sweet LEDs in there, or had a fried cluster and tried wiring it up to work. I would honestly just look for a decent new cluster.
