GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The standard instrument cluster on all models contains
seven circular housings consisting of: a speedometer;
fuel gauge; oil pressure, generator and temperature indi-
cators; right and left directional signal indicators; brake
warning and high beam indicators; and includes a clock
on deluxe models. An optionally available instrument
cluster provides special instrumentation which includes
in addition to the speedometer and clock: a tachometer;
fuel, oil pressure, ammeter and engine temperature
gauges; which replace the standard fuel gauge and indi-
cator lights. The brake warning indicator is relocated
to the tachometer dial face and the high beam and direc-
tional indicators are positioned in the speedometer dial
face.
Instrument cluster removal is recommended before at-
tempting to service the printed circuit and gauges even
though some units may be accessible from behind the
cluster. Limited working space under the instrument
panel increases the possibility of electrical malfunctions
due to poor connections, and damaged or improperly in-
stalled printed circuit. The printed circuit is service-
able but not repairable and requires complete
replacement.
The brake warning light serves a dual purpose. It
functions as an indicator when the parking brake is ap-
plied and also warns if a malfunction (loss of hydraulic
pressure) should occur in the brake system. The two
separate switches, which provide the signal to operate the
indicator, are located at the parking brake support and in
the hydraulic brake line at the master cylinder. Service
of the brake pressure, differential switch unit at the
master cylinder is described in Section 5 of this manual.
All indicator and cluster illumihating lamps may be
replaced without removing the cluster from the vehicle.
The bulbs are installed in plastic holders which lock into
the cluster housing and make contact with the printed
circuit. An instrument lamp is used to illuminate the
ignition switch. A special fibre optic lucite wiring
transmits light from the lamp to the switch.
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 cable properly lubricated.
