Ok, guys and gals. I've gotten my self a moderate basket case '96. I fixed the O2 sensor and the SRS light that were keeping me from passing emissions here in Virginia.
UNFORTUNATELY, none of the lights on the dash that should be triggered by the OBD2 sensors are lighting.
Lights I have: Discharge, door open, ABS (works properly), SRS (works properly now), Brake, Cruise, High Beam, indicators, gauges, gear position
Lights I DON'T have: A/T, CEL, Oil
I've tested the grounds and they seem to be working, as I can get full power and ground through pin 5A ->1. I unscrewed, cleaned, and retightened all the little screws in the back of the gauge cluster, pulled all the bulbs, and swapped in known working bulbs to the lights that would not activate, wiggled everything, pulled and checked fuses, and tried the dimmer.
At this point, do you think my gauges are bad, or is there a way that the OBD sensor would read codes just fine, but not send anything to the dash?
I also get mV levels on those lights that should be triggered when the key is in the ON position. Not sure if it's supposed to be triggering relays or if there's an input voltage issue at those pins.
Any help is appreciated, and if and NOVA guys want to come over, I'll gladly pay you in scotch, beer, pizza, dollars, or whatever you want if you can make this thing light up.
