#1 of 1 1993 Corolla Instrument Cluster Question by buckman98 Nov 12, 2006 (2:04 am)
Hi folks - new to the forum - and hoping to get some help with an issue. I have a 1993 Corolla, which has been pretty good to me. I just got a new instrument cluster off of eBay - my speedo head had gone bad, and I could not deal with out a speedometer. The cluster came in good shape, and is mostly working OK. The biggest issue is that the gas gauge is not reading correctly. It will go to "full" when I fill it, but it drops very little as I use gas (I put 7 gallons in today, in an 11 gallon tank, and the gauge had been reading 3/4 full before I did that). I think that the speedo is also a little off (seems to read higher than I am going, by about 4-5 MPH). I am most concerned with the gas gauge. Does anyone know if this could be a compatability issue with the cluster, or if the repair might have messed up something? Many thanks - Jason B
