01Pathmaker Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Ugh, figured it was not gonna be easy, or pretty. May have to play with this a little if/when time allows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorpe991 Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 If you were to get the actual bumper support from.a face liffted pathy it might line up better and would use factory mounts other than on the sides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01Pathmaker Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Might have to play with it when i get some time, i have a new support and cover in the boxes, sitting in the garage waiting to go on my 01. A few months ago my wife decided it'd be fun to play bumper cars on her way to work, tweaked the support and tore a few holes in the cover, just been waiting to have the time to paint it and toss it on.

thorpe991 Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 So yesterday my tach temp gauge and fuel gauge stopped working they move when i first turn the key on but thats it and i tore it apart to see if any thing looked broken or burnt and noticed that there is a wire that is loose from the coil/motor thing for the tach nothing else seams astray i looked in my Haynes manual and didn't find anything about a fuse for the gauge cluster oh the Speedo still works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferrariowner123 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Might be one of the ignition wires, if I remember correctly, you have two ignition wires that run to the cluster. Do the back lights work when you fire up the headlights? -Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorpe991 Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 Yep they work to and today my gas gauge came back to life think it could be a short in the actual cluster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
