I've got a 73 Satellite with rallye cluster and looking to trouble shoot some of the gauges that don't work. The only working gauges right now are the oil pressure, alt, and fuel. The odometer works as well. I took it to a shop who confirmed power was getting to the gauge cluster, but they weren't knowledgeable with mopar systems and didn't want to work on it any further.
The spedometer seems like it wants to work. The plastic clip is broken off where it plugs into the cluster. When I'm driving around, the needle bounces up and down about a 1/4". I've tried to make sure it's fully seated to see if it's the cable itself or the gauge, but it's made no change on the needle bouncing.
The RPM gauge is down and the needle is stuck at about 2k.
Temp just never warms up. I installed an aftermarket temp gauge for peace of mind.
I will add that the oil pressure gauge typically reads just shy of high.
Is the cluster worth pulling and sending somewhere to get repaired or would it just be easier, albeit more expensive, to swap in a classic dash with autometer gauges.
