October 18, 201015 yr Author comment_476468 thats what i was thinking of doing. what is the issue with the cluster is it repairable? Report
October 18, 201015 yr comment_476480 Maybe the voltage regulator at the back of the cluster is stuffed. Report
October 18, 201015 yr comment_476540 when it happens try fiddling with you're dash light dimmer. works a treat. Report
October 18, 201015 yr comment_476545 Yea, i had the same problem a while back. 99% sure it was the voltage reg on the back. Report
April 6, 201115 yr comment_515178 i had the same problem on a ke55, changed the voltage regulator for a 10v 1A low drop out regulator (about $2 worth) and it sorted it out, guages work properly now! Report
April 6, 201115 yr comment_515329 show us how you did it? pics etc etc? :yes: sorry no pics, its all back together now. It's pretty simple though. Just pull you fascia & cluster out. On the back of the cluster secured by four screws is your voltage regulator for the temp and fuel gauges. Simply find your closest electronic component shop, and ask them for a low drop out 10V 1A regulator. most are the same, but make sure the one you get, the terminals go (from left to right) Input (12v), Ground, output(10v) you unscrew the old one, i separated it from the aluminium heatsink, and then flattened the heatsink so it fit the larger regulator. Attach the reg to the heatsink however you choose (small bolt, screw etc) then screw back into place, making sure the terminals go into their little locator spaces. re-assemble in reverse and ta-da!!! fixed gauges that work with the headlights on!

The other was that the fuel gauge wouldnt read full when it was full. Switch on the headlights and they'd go off completely Report
