Question -
I have an '01 Ram Cummins 3500 HO 6-speed. The Tach, Oil Pressure, and Water Temp guages stopped working.
I ran the diagnostic test using the odometer reset button and everything was fine. I ordered an instrument cluster from a used parts dealer. I installed it and the same 3 guages are still not working. What do I check next?

Thank you,
Randy Reed
Answer -
have you checked the fuses?

Yes, the fuses are all good. I did have an exhaust temp and boost pressure guage installed. Could they have damaged the wiring in some way?

Answer
Randy,
I didn't mean to sound as if i were doubting you checked the fuses,i just didn't see that mentioned Sorry.If this problem started after the other guages were installed i'll bet you this is where the problem is.They had to tie into the wiring somewhere and may not have tied them back in.I'd take it back and let them look at it and repair the guages,because chances are if this problem did not exist until these guages were installed is where the problem is.
