Did you perform the Instrument Cluster Diagnostic System Check?

--

Go to Step 2

Go to Diagnostic System Check - Instrument Cluster

Verify that the volt gauge is inaccurate or inoperative.

Does the volt gauge operate normally?

--

Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems

Go to Step 3

1. Turn the ignition switch to the RUN position.
2. Remove the combs for the instrument cluster connector. Refer to Instrument Cluster Replacement .
3. Backprobe the instrument cluster connector with a J 39200 digital multimeter (DMM) and measure the voltage between the ignition 1 voltage circuit and a good ground. Refer to Circuit Testing in Wiring Systems.
4. Compare the DC voltage reading on the J 39200 DMM and the volt gauge display on the cluster.

Does the volt gauge on the cluster and the DMM display approximately agree?

12-14 VDC

Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems
