Guest BlackSoup Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Hey so I've recently blown up a 2jz and replaced it with another one... Everything's running fine except for the dash cluster which isn't working at all apart from the fuel gauge, I've checked the fuses and they're fine, I've been told that some screws in the dash work as an earth to the dash cluster. I'm just not sure which ones they are... Help?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rider Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 You'd probably be better served opening this topic up in the technical section rather than new members. It'd be useful to have some extra info though, like has the cluster been touched at all or is it just as it was when everything worked? What kind of blow up was it, did the turbo shatter into 1,000 pieces cutting through hoses and wires or was it an internal component that failed? The last time I had a dash go down on me, on an Audi, taking it out and putting back in again sorted it out which was a relief as the cluster is ECU paired on Audis. So, its an imponderable without a bit more info and then its have a guess from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Also, if you pull the dash you'll be able to check the lines on the PCB are all intact and not frazzled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the big end bearing that went, no shattering turbos as it was a N/A engine, everything on the dash cluster worked perfect before and has not been touched at all.. just trying to figure out which screws work as the earth to the cluster (if thats even true) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Just pull the cluster, have a look at the PCB, check the tightness of the screws and plug it back in. Then see if it works. If you have checked the foot well fuse and confirmed that's OK then its probably going to be a bad contact or failed PCB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konrad Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Make sure grey plug from engine harness is connected to right socket. There are 2 sockets there and you or whoever put new engine in might plug grey plug in wrong place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konrad Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Passenger side in a corner behind carpet - orange and grey plug, grey plug can be put in 2 sockets on the left, make sure it sits in good one.. Orange and grey belongs to engine loom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
