cluster voltage limiter

[John G]

Hey all  there is a prong on the backside of the limiter. Is this supposed to be grounded?  I don;t see it clearly in the wiring diagram.

thanks

[Dino]

Nope, no ground.

Nope, no ground.

I thought the casing was grounded though right?

[John G]

thanks guys   I thought I read that the cluster was grounded when screwed in but do you know if it's one screw in particular the makes the ground? 

[Dino]

Yes the casing grounds onto the circuit board and the instrument cluster screws ground the whole unit to the dash.

ok thanks

 Is there an advantage to installing a NEW solid state I guess they are voltage limiter ?

Yep, good added security. RTE IVR4 is what you need.

thanks for the tip   
I did get a new one and installed it but gauges still not working -- I'm getting too old to keep sticking my head under the dash!

Remove the circuit board and solder the pins to the board. That'll fix it. Common issue.
