If old cable is broken it may be neces-

sary to remove lower piece from transmission

end of conduit.

2.
Lubricate the lower 3/4 of cable with speedometer

cable lubricant and push the cable into the conduit.

Connect the upper end to the speedometer head and

road test vehicle for proper speedometer operation.

INDICATOR LIGHT REPLACEMENT

To replace any indicator or cluster bulb, unsnap the

proper socket from rear of instrument cluster, remove

and replace bulb, and reinsert unit into rear of cluster

housing.

OIL PRESSURE INDICATOR

If the light does not come on when the ignition switch
is turned on, or if the light comes on and remains on

after the engine is started, one or more of the following

conditions is indicated:

• Low oil pressure

• High engine temperature

• Defective wiring or switch

Switch Replacement

1.
Disconnect wiring harness connector from sender

unit terminal (located in block above starter on

a. If indicator light does not go out at engine idle

speed, refer to Charging Systems under Engine

Electrical, Section 6Y.

TEMPERATURE (COOLING SYSTEM) INDICATOR

The temperature indicator circuit consists of two re-

motely located units, indicator gauge and engine sender

unit. The indicator gauge on all models uses a single

red light to indicate an overheated engine condition.

Engine Sender Unit Replacement

1.
Drain engine cooling system to a level below unit.

2.
Remove sender unit (located in the inlet manifold

near water pump housing on V-8 engines and in the

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

All Corvette instruments and gauges are conveniently

located in the dash-mounted cluster. The entire cluster

is removable to permit servicing of the various instru-

ments and gauges. The indicator and cluster illuminating

bulbs may be replaced without removing the cluster from

the panel.
Regular maintenance is not required on the instrument

cluster or its components other than maintaining clean

and keeping the speedometer and tachometer cables

properly lubricated.

6. Disconnect oil pressure line at oil pressure gauge

then remove the lead wires from ammeter, wiper

switch and cigarette lighter. Disconnect trip odom-

eter at mast jacket support.

7. Remove the instrument cluster-to-dash retaining

screws and pull cluster assembly slightly forward

to obtain clearance for removal of speedometer

cable, tachometer cable, cluster ground wire, fuel

gauge lead wires and remaining indicator and cluster

illuminating lamps.

8. To install cluster in dash panel, reverse removal

procedure.

FUEL GAUGE

The gasoline fuel gauge circuit consists of an electri-
cal indicator in the instrument cluster and a float-

controlled rheostat in the fuel tank.

Since the fuel gauge consists of two remotely located

units and connecting wires, it is sometimes difficult to

determine which unit is at fault when the gauge fails to

operate properly. Cluster removal is necessary to re-

place the fuel gauge.

NOTE:
Be sure to check gas gauge fuse in fuse

panel before attempting to trouble shoot for

inoperative gauge or tank sending unit.

SPEEDOMETER AND/OR TACHOMETER

Removal and Installation

Cluster must be removed from vehicle to service

speedometer head assembly (see Cluster Removal pro-

cedure)
.
With cluster removed from vehicle:

1.
Remove five screws securing cluster back panel to

cluster assembly; separate the parts carefully.

CAUTION: Care must be used to avoid marring

instrument cluster face.

2.
Remove two screws securing speedometer or ta-

chometer head to cluster back panel; carefully re-

move speedometer or tachometer head.

NOTE:
Servicing of speedometer or tachom-

eter head should be performed by an authorized

AC service station.

3.
Reverse above procedure to install speedometer.

Cable Replacement or Lubrication

1.
Disconnect the. cable from the speedometer or ta-

chometer head. Remove the old cable by pulling it

out from speedometer end of conduit.

NOTE:
If old cable is broken it may be nec-

essary to remove lower piece from transmission

or distributor end of conduit as applicable.

2.
Lubricate the lower 3/4 of cable with
AC
speedom-

eter cable lubricant and push the cable into the con-

duit. Connect the upper end to the speedometer or

tachometer head and road test vehicle for proper

operation.

TEMPERATURE GAUGE

The temperature indicator requires very little service

other than testing for malfunctioning and replacing de-

fective units. Cluster must be removed to service tem-

perature gauge.

Do not attempt to repair either the engine unit or the

gauge. When installing new engine unit, do not use

thread compound on unit threads, as this will increase

electrical resistance of unit and cause faulty reading

on gauge.

AMMETER OR OIL PRESSURE GAUGE

The ammeter or oil pressure gauge requires very

little attention other than keeping ammeter terminals

clean and tight. If the oil pressure control line should

become restricted it should be blown out or replaced.

Cluster must be removed to service these gauges.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The standard Camaro instrument cluster assembly con-

sists
of two
circular units which house
the
speedometer

and fuel gauge assemblies.
The oil
pressure, left-hand

directional
and
brake warning indicators
are
located
in

the face
of the
speedometer bezel while generator,
tem-

perature
and
right-hand directional indicators are grouped

with
the
fuel gauge unit.
The
high beam indicator
is

located between
the
cluster bezels.

A special instrumentation package
is
available with
the

eight-cylinder engine
and
center floor console combina-

tion.
The
special cluster includes:
a
clock; coolant

temperature,
oil
pressure, fuel
and
ammeter gauges,

mounted forward
on the
seat separator console;
a ta-

chometer
in the
right circular housing
of the
dash
in-

strument cluster; and
a low
fuel level indicator replacing

the
oil
pressure indicator lamp
in the
instrument cluster.

The instruments
and
gauges,
may be
serviced only

after
the
instrument cluster
is
removed from
the
vehicle.

Indicator
and
cluster lamps except
for the
high beam

indicator
may be
replaced without removing
the
cluster

assembly. Partial cluster removal
is
necessary when

replacing
the
high beam indicator due
to its
proximity
to
the upper brace
rod
anchor plate.
The
bulbs
are in-

stalled
in
plastic sockets which lock into
the
cluster

housing and make contact with
the
printed circuit.

A
low
level fuel warning system
is a
special feature

available with
the
floor console gauge pack. This
sys-

tem includes
an
indicator lamp
in the
dash cluster and
a

semi-conductor unit senses
the
change
in
electrical
re-

sistance
of the
fuel system circuitry
as
variations
in

fuel level occur.
The
sensing device
is
replaced
as a

unit
if
found defective.

The brake warning light serves
a
dual purpose.
It

functions
as an
indicator when
the
parking brake
is ap-

plied
and
also
if
there
is a
malfunction (loss
of
hydraulic

pressure)
in the
brake system. Switches which provide

the signal
to
operate
the
light
are
located
at the
parking

brake assembly
and at the
brake master cylinder
in the

hydraulic lines. Service
of the
brake pressure differ-

ential switch unit
is
covered
in
Section
5 of
this manual.

Regular maintenance
is not
required on
the
instrument

cluster
or its
components other than maintaining clean,

tight electrical connections, replacing defective parts

and keeping
the
speedometer properly lubricated.

FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKER

A circuit breaker in the light control switch protects

the headlamp circuit, thus eliminating one fuse. A

separate circuit breaker protects the power window,

seat and top circuits. On Corvettes the headlamp motor
circuit is also protected by a separate circuit breaker.

Where current load is too heavy, the circuit breaker

rapidly opens and closes, protecting the circuit until

the cause is found and eliminated.
