1979 dodge b200 instrument panel circuit board question - February 04th 2018 12:19 am
My instrument panel never did seem to work right.
the ammeter never seemed to register any movement.
The oil light never came on ( I added an oil pressure guage years ago).
Fuel guage never seemed to read correctly.
Lately speedometer started to pin whenever I went over 70MPH
So I decided to tear it open and resolve all this.
New speedo cable turns out to be wrong one. ordered 1979 to 1984. Looks like from pics I have seen 1985 or later.
circuit board looked as though it had been repaired......New circuit boards (both)
new voltage limiter (solid state)
My question is:
When assembling new circuit board there is a lug at one end near one of the IP lights.
Is this a ground lug ? no wires were attached to it but there is a connector nearby that looks as though it would fit (doesn't quite reach) but that may be the instrument panel could have been changed.
