TURBO BOOST GAUGE & SENSOR (CAPRI)
1. Disconnect 3-pin boost sensor electrical connected located on right side of firewall. Turn ignition on. Measure voltage between
Yellow/Green and Black wires. Voltage should be greater than 10 volts. Turn ignition off. If voltage is greater than 10 volts, go t o n e xt
step. If voltage is 10 volts or less, repair Yellow/Green or Black wires as necessary.
2. Remove instrument panel. See INSTRUMENT PANEL
under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Disconnect instrument panel 8-pin
connector. With boost sensor disconnected, measure resistance through White/Black between instrument panel and boost sensor harness
connector. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair or replace White/Black wire.
3. With 8-pin instrument panel connector disconnected, ground White/Black at boost gauge. Boost gauge should read low. Apply 12 vo l t s
to White/Black wire at boost gauge. Boost gauge should read high. If boost gauge operates as specified, go to next step. If boost gauge
does not operate as specified, replace boost gauge.
4. Reconnect instrument panel connectors (if removed). With ignition on and boost sensor disconnected, install jumper wire between
Yellow/Green and White/Black wires of boost sensor vehicle harness connector. Boost gauge should read high. If boost gauge reads
high, replace boost sensor. If boost gauge does not read high, go to TROUBLE SHOOTING
for other possible causes.

Disconnect rear wiper switch and rear defogger switch wiring harness connectors (if equipped).
2. Remove instrument panel-to-dash screws. Pull panel from dash. Reach behind panel and release speedometer drive cable lock tab. Lift
lock tabs and disconnect 2 electrical connectors from rear of panel. Remove panel. To install instrument panel, reverse removal
procedure.
INDICATOR LIGHTS
Removal & Installation
Remove instrument panel for access to indicator light bulbs. See INSTRUMENT PANEL under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. To remove
bulb, rotate bulb counterclockwise to disengage locking tabs. When tabs release, pull bulb from printed circuit board. To install bulb, reverse
removal procedure. Install instrument panel and test lights.
SPEEDOMETER R & I
Removal & Installation (Capri)
R e mo ve n e ga t ive b a t t e r y c a b l e . R e mo ve in st r u me n t p a n e l . S e e INSTRUMENT PANEL under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Disassemble
instrument panel and remove speedometer/tachometer/boost gauge assembly from instrument panel. To install, apply a 3/16" (4.6 mm) b al l o f
Silicone Damping Grease (D7AZ-19A331-A) into drive hole of speedometer head. Reverse removal procedure to complete installation.
Removal & Installation (Festiva)
R e mo ve n e ga t ive b a t t e r y c a b l e . R e mo ve in st r u me n t p a n e l . S e e INSTRUMENT PANEL under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Disassemble
instrument panel and remove speedometer head assembly from instrument panel. Speedometer is a separate module and can be removed
independently from gauges. To install, reverse removal procedure.
SPEED SENSOR
On vehicles equipped with speed control, a speed sensor is mounted in speedometer head assembly. If replacement is necessary, speedometer
head assembly must be replaced. See SPEEDOMETER R & I
under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.
FUEL GAUGE
Removal & Installation
Remo ve in st ru men t p an el . See INSTRUMENT PANEL under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Disassemble panel and remove fuel gauge.
To install gauge, reverse removal procedure. On Capri, the fuel/volt gauge must be replaced as an assembly.
FUEL SENDING UNIT
Removal & Installation
1. For Festiva, remove rear seat. For Capri, remove rear seat cushion. On Festiva, remove carpet hold-down pins and lift carpet for access
to sending unit access plate. On all models, remove access plate screws. NOTE:Federal law requires that a label stating the odom eter has been repaired or replaced be affixed to any

TROUBLE SHOOTING
DEFOGGER DOES NOT OPERATE
Blown fuse(s) or poor contact. Defogger switch defective. Defogger relay defective. Poor connections. Broken wire. Defective grid filament.
INDICATOR LIGHT DOES NOT WORK BUT DEFOGGER DOES WORK
Open circuit from rear defogger switch to instrument panel (Festiva). Defective light bulb. Defective flexible circuit on instrument cluster.
TESTING
SYSTEM TESTING
1. Ensure all in-line fuses or circuit breakers are okay. Turn ignition and control switches to ON position. Glass should feel warm after a
few min u t es.
2. If glass is not warm, use a test light or voltmeter to check for battery voltage at grid feed wire. If voltage is not correct, check wiring
harness, control switch and flexible circuit on instrument cluster. See FILAMENT TESTING.
REAR DEFOGGER SWITCH TESTING
Capri
Remove rear defogger switch. Using an ohmmeter, ensure continuity exists between terminals listed in table at specified switch positions. If
switch does not test as specified, replace rear defogger switch. See REAR DEFOGGER SWITCH CONTINUITY (CAPRI) table.
REAR DEFOGGER SWITCH CONTINUITY (CAPRI)
Festiva
Remove rear defogger switch. Using an ohmmeter, ensure continuity exists between terminals listed in table at specified switch positions. If
switch does not test as specified, replace rear defogger switch. See REAR DEFOGGER SWITCH CONTINUITY (FESTIVA) table. See Fig.
3 .
