All Warning Indicators Inoperative
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1997 Mercury Cougar and 1997 Ford Thunderbird. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Turn ignition switch to RUN position. Measure voltage between ground and output side of CLUSTER (5-amp) fuse. If battery voltage is present, go to step 3). If battery voltage is not present, go to next step.
- Measure voltage between ground and supply side of CLUSTER (5-amp) fuse. If battery voltage is present, go to step 4). If battery voltage is not present, repair open in Red/Light Green wire and retest system.
- Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Remove instrument cluster. See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Disconnect cluster connector C251. See Figure. Measure resistance between output side of CLUSTER (5-amp) fuse and cluster connector C251, pin No. 6 (Red/Yellow wire). If resistance is 5 ohms or less, replace instrument cluster printed circuit and retest system. See PRINTED CIRCUIT under REMOVAL & REPLACEMENT. If resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair open in Red/Yellow wire and retest system.
- Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Measure resistance between ground and output side of CLUSTER (5-amp) fuse. If resistance is 10 k/ohms or less, repair short to ground on Red/Yellow wire. If Red/Yellow wire is okay, replace CLUSTER (5-amp) fuse and retest system. If resistance is more than 10 k/ohms, replace CLUSTER (5-amp) fuse and retest system.
