How do I get my dashboard to function properly again?
What is your question?
I bought this vehicle (used)in February from a dealership.96,000 miles on car. It wasn't really any major problems with car. I've had an oil changed,front end aliment,changed spark plugs and wires. Im June i noticed my car act like it didn't want to turn over on the first try.Later I got it put on a diagnostic machine,the throttle position sensor needed replacing. I got a used part put on after that my starter went out, the fuel pump. Got those replaced with used parts. Car wouldn't crank up and the security light was on. Nobody could fix it until recently I called a locksmith and they managed to get the light off and it cranked up but the dashboard isn't reading my mileage,gears,and gas needle wasn't working while car is cranked. Im running out of resources on how to get this problems fixed any suggestions?
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 1997 Buick Century. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
Thanks I have no idea what that means but 3 different mechanics had my car and could not fix it. I hate to call it quits with my car considering I spent my very last to buy it. Do you know of any places you can refer me to I live in Fayetteville N.C
The instrument cluster on the dash, there are several u-tube videos showing how to repair, there are four 150 ohm resistors that get loose on the main board that will need replaced and soldiered in, it's not too much of a job if your somewhat mechanically inclined, I suspect that will solve your problem with the odo and the prndl lights, don't know about the gas needle though.
