Troubleshooting Flowchart




NOTE:
- If this symptom is intermittent, check for a loose No. 5 BACK-UP LIGHTS, ALTERNATOR, TURN SIGNALS (15A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box, a poor connection at ECM terminal A7, or an intermittent open in the BLU wire between the ECM (Engine Control Module) (A7) and the gauge assembly.
