I picked up a 90 Legacy LS Special (so th etitle says)
And th eTach, and fuel gauge don't work...
Just wondering if anyone eles has had this trouble, and knows a fix for it....I figure it's electrical since both the tach, and the fuel gauge aren't working (the low fuel light doesn't work either
)
Any help would be appreciated....

Anyone?
maybe the schem for the instrument cluster, and where it's sinals come from....
The Tach, doesn't move off "0"
and the Fuel gauge stays on "Full"......

Maybe try taking the cluster out and making sure all the connections are good. Otherwise, download the subaru reference manual and start tracing wires to/from those two instruments.

yea check the connections in the back, and then before you put everything back together, check to see if its working again... if not then a quick easy cheep check would be to go to as junkyard and pull a good looking cluster. and plug it in and see if that one works. the cluster board might just be fried in a sense

Thanks for the imput guys...
Wher can I download the FSM's....I found the parts for the motor, but not the section that covers the gauges....
Anyone have a good gauge cluster they'd ship me for cheap, as there aren't any in the local yards around here...(I live in a Subaru desert
)
I;'d hate to spend much for them, as I don't know if it'd fix it....
I did pull the cluster last week, and all the connections seemed fine, no obvious burnt places on the back....everything looked good.
