145 mph cluster

In my 92 camaro, I just recently got the 145 cluster from it. (upgraded from 110). After I put the white face gauges in, my tach stopped working and my 4 center gauges are haywire... I did pop the needles off to put the white faces on. Could someone help me to fix this problem? Its costing me sleep

If you replaced the entire cluster and your old one functioned as designed, I'd swap the 145 speedo head into it--I don't know why but electrical gremlins crop up from time to time. Or perhaps the new cluster simply isn't seated properly.

Re: 145 mph cluster

I tryed both, now there both not working. Ive got one more trick up my sleeve, them im all out. Im just going to get a friends 110 cluster and put it in and see if its doing the same thing. If so, then I can narrow it down to the car side, not the cluster.

Re: 145 mph cluster

Ok, here is the update. All of my gauges, except my speedometer are working now. Not good however. My rpm gauge I got working, its working fine. My gas gauge seems to be fine. My heat gauge is fine but is reading a little high, my oil gauge is reading too low, and my battery gauge is reading a little too high. Now my speedometer isnt working. I did swap out a 110 cluster for a 145, would I need to get a new VSS for it to work? Help me please
