f nput Test -'97 - 98 Models
Remove the gauge assembly from the dashboard (see section 20). and disconnect the 14P connector from the gauge
assemblv (see section 23),
Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact.
. lf the terminals are bent, loose, or corroded, repairthem as necessary, and recheck the system.. lf the terminals look OK, make the following input tests at the 14P connector.- lf I test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.- lf all the input tests prove OK, but the indicator is faulty. replace the printed circuit board,

Controller Input test
NOTE: The control unit is built into the dash lights bright-
ness controller.
1.Carefully pry the controller out of the dashboard.
Disconnect the 3P connector trom the controller,
Inspect the connector terminals to be sure they are
all making good contact.
. lf the terminals are bent, loose, or corroded, repair
them as necessary, and recheck the system.
. lf the terminals look OK, make the following input
tests at the connector.- lf any test indicates a problem, find and cor-
rect the cause. then recheck the system.- lf all the input tests prove OK, the controller
must be taulty; replace it.
