I decided to be stubborn and figuire out what exactly is the backlighting component and it is this cathode tube. I had to disassemble the whole cluster which wasn’t too bad but very tedious. I ordered the cheapest working gauge cluster on eBay to try and swap out this cathode tube with another...

Here it is with the circuit board removed.

So I am in the same boat as OP with everything working but my backlight. I have the gauge out and took off the circuit board and all my stuff looks mint. That white wire that looks soldered on the op pics is not on my circuit board so that is somebody’s attempt at a repair. I can’t figuire out...

You need a volt meter and test the alternator output at the battery. You should have about 12.2 volts at the battery before starting and if the alternator is working you should have 13.2-14.4 volts roughly if it’s charging. If not you need an alternator. I’d also check that you don’t have any...

I am very pleased with the repair. I chose not to do webbing as mine was good but it looks like they did clean it.

I replaced the notorious peeling outer window trim with the $45 eBay stuff. Definitely not OEM fit and quality but decent and it looks so much better.

Wanted to update that I received my seatbelt back from Safety Restore and it fixed the airbag light. No more faults , no more annoying flashing airbag light 👍

Did the valve cover gaskets ,retorqed the spark plugs, installed the PCV kit from Patch, installed the repaired seatbelt which cleared the airbag light. Did a small sensor lift and installed the new wheels and tires.

could be a number of things. Evap related, gasket related, hose related... You need to get a mirror or gain acces by dropping the tank to see whats going on. I wouldn't be drving it with a known leak. A static charge can light that off easy.

Great info, Did your cable originally work fine and then stop working ? Now I am wondering if this has been my issue all along despite my latest cable seems to work fine now without doing any of that.

I wanted to update that I tried the latest revision cable and it works again. So I had one bad cable from the start, the second cable worked one time and then went bad. The third and hopefully final cable is currently working. If you know you have done everything and it still won’t connect I...

Thx, I sent it off to them yesterday 😎

Yes 👍

Thx, I am hoping the recall was already completed. The prior owner was on top of their stuff but I'll need to see if I can find those records. I wonder if I can still get that done under the recall? I went ahead and sent the seatbelt off for repair today. Ill follow up to let everyone know this...

Thx, it’s a 2000. I’m fairly certain it’s the belt. I used the FSM to narrow it down to that. I tried cleaning the connectors and it didn’t work . So I’m on the hunt for a belt. I think I found a company that fixes them so I may send it off for repair.
