pics of the open dash with instrument panel removed? Four 20 pin plugs

[jerryb]

I need to get two wires connected to the rear of the plugs where all the sky blue wires come out. (c14 plug)
So I'm looking for pictures of the male plugs left mounted there with the cluster removed. Maybe a shot in the dark but I thought I would ask.

I'm not sure if the 2000 cluster is significantly different from the 2006, and I'm not sure if these shots will help much, but it's all I got...

jerrryb,

Are you having an issue of some sort? I have a problem where most every morning, I start my LC and all gauges are dead. After the LC warms up and generally after I hit a pot hole or a decent bump, something happens and my cluster comes alive and everything works. Generally, once its warmed up, I can turn it off and back on and everything works but if its cold, 95% of the time, the cluster is dead.

Trying to figure out how to track down the issue, but it doesn't seem like a loose ground or anything like that because it operates too consistently. Sometimes if the LC is warmed up and the cluster is still dead, I can hit the top of the dash and everything comes alive.

You're not having a similar issue are you?

thanks for the pictures, that's what i was looking for. It didn't dawn on me to look at youtube videos. But your picture is better.

Fitzo, no I don't have any issues. I need to add two wires to one of those plugs. The only think I can say is that you might have a halfway bad fuse, maybe in the lower left panel. Even one in the front bay could do that. My headlights did what you're talking about. Fuse looked fine, but wasn't. I should have checked it with a VM. It's worth it to replace the lower panels fuses both sides. Or emery cloth them clean and shinny. or be lazy and at least check the gauge1 and 2, ACC, MET and ECU-b2, and DOME fuses, health wise I mean. I have the books open right here so I looked.

Jerryb,

I appreciate your thoughts and response. I'll do some voltage testing when I find time, its a good place to start.
