What is this piece?

Stupid question but what is this white piece at the right bottom part of the gauge cluster? Is it a connector, if so is it connected to a harness?

that is where the warning lights are on a pre airbag car... 87-89

Another stupid question, i plan on swapping in a new cluster, Where is the connector on the cluster where the harness plugs into?

Also is this plastic piece mandatory for the cluster to work properly?

You dont need to plug it in.. the cluster will work fine without it.

ok thanks, btw what could be causing my fuel gauge o stop working, it reads full all the time and my sending unit is fine, could it be the voltage regulator ?

Take a look at this link I'm having the same issue and trying to figure it out myself... I replaced my sending unit just now and nothing..Next is taking my cluster out

87-89 GT to be specific...never came on the LX.


I put one on my LX...but only the check oil light works.

Any luck with the fuel gauge?

The gauge itself could be shot.

I miss the "extra warning gauges" that my 88 GT had. Wasn't one of them low washer fluid??? I can't remember, been too many years.

I had some issues with my cluster, I was able to piece another one together from a couple of broken ones. Also, I believe that you can buy one on latemodel that is white and completely re calibrated and rebuilt.
