Just acquired the car, looking to start addressing the issues it has. Biggest one involves the gauge cluster. Here's the rundown of issues:

  • No gauge lights in any of the gauge pods or the switches, but have lights in the radio, PRNDL and HVAC control
  • No functional gauges - fuel gauge barely creeps off of E, minimal input from oil pressure, nothing else
  • Speedometer stuck at 25-30mph at rest, wildly optimistic while driving, no bounce but occasionally emits a light metallic "ping"


I do have idiot lights and a seat belt buzzer, and I have a functioning odometer that is turning appropriately for the vehicle's actual speed. This is my first B-body and it's been a minute since I've dived into a Mopar product. Anybody have any insights? I suspect the speedometer involves the gauge's inner workings, possibly a bearing. Everything else I'm not sure of.

If needed, can get video for further explanation.
