So I have been fighting with the cluster. Summarized here:
http://www.oilburners.net/threads/electrical-help.79527/
The situation has improved. Part of my problem was actually a BUNCH of burnt out bulbs.
Right now the tally is functional:
Left turn
Right turn
Seatbelt
RABS
Illumination
High beam
All the gauges
Heater controls and blower
Cargo light
Parking lights
Hi and low beams
Not working:
Check engine
Engine
Charging
4x4
Low range
Brake warning
So that's progress I guess. The high beam was my stupidity. The indicator actually ties in out at the DRL harness which if you were keeping score, I nuked. Manual says it ties in at the foot switch. Nope. So I tied it into my harness for the relay mod. All better.
I know am powering the cluster correctly. Not sure why. I changed fuses and tada. Old fuse tested good. Got me what actually changed.
So now I need to look at what's working and go from there. I suspect those may be problems out at the senders but I really don't know. All the indicators should self check on Key On power like the RABS is right?
Now It won't start with the key again. I'm not sure what that's about. I adjusted the ignition switch but no love. Lights dim like it's trying but no love. I put the charger on it. Maybe the batteries are a little flat with all the key on time etc. oh well. That's for another day. I'll probably order a new switch while I'm at it and it's easy to change.
Anyway I think the plan now is to keep putting things back together. Going to make some calls to see what the driveshaft is going to cost me.
I put the transfer case shifter in. That was not easy. I can't get it to shift. Probably need it to be running to get it to shift.
Still have to figure out the exhaust brake thing. I may have to make flanges.
Anyway, that's it for tonight.
