Hey guys just recently bought a Ba Fairmont and the stereo didn't work so I pulled it out and replaced it and now the tacho and speedo heat gauge and fuel gauge doesn't work would anyone have any ideas as to why this has happened? I have checked all the fuses that I know about and non have blown and there is power to it and stuff just none of the gauges work :x

i cant say for sure on the fuel guage i think that was wired from the tank to the cluster then the cluster sent the info on to ICC and PCM via CAN., Temp, speed and tacho and a heap of the lights on the dash are sent to the cluster via the CAN bus.

Were they all working before you changed the stereo/ICC?
try re seating the connectors to the BCM,cluster and pull the ICC out and re seat it too.

probably going to be no point but i'd check the 2 fuses i mentioned i can simulate the trouble your having pulling one of the fuses gives me lights on the dash but all stay lit after starting, and no gauges. pulling the other i get no lights but have display on the screens.

failing that may have to wait for one of the smarter guys to call in and shed some advice. if i think of anything else ill drop back in.
