[94_Stang_GT]

hi my name is josh and im new to this site.
i just picked up a 94 gt with the 5.0 and 5 speed.
the gauges wont light up and i can't figure out why.
also i can roll my drivers side window up and down just fine but cant roll the passenger side down. and on the passenger can roll it up but not down. can't figure out why that is either.

any help or ideas would be great thank you

Welcome to the site.

Did you check the dimmer fuse yet?

The window: If it won't roll up no matter what, I'd remove the door panel and manually apply fused power to it to bench test the motor.

Good luck.

i checked the smaller fuses in the engine campartment and the generator fuse is blown and all the other fuese under the steering wheel seem ok. didn't check em all. could you tell me which one is the dimmer fuse please. i checked the ones that the book said gauges and intrument lights and stuff but they were good. could it be that allll the bulbs in the dash are burnt out??? what else could be the problem? im so lost lol

Fuse 13 inside the car.

EDIT: I realized I'm not sure exactly what's not coming on.

Was there power coming through either prong of the fuse terminals? Did you turn the dimmer up and down a few times (in case the rheostat has some build-up)?

If not, check dimmer power at the headlight switch. It's Pin number H, a R/Y wire. You should need the parking lights on while checking this.

For instrument panel lighting, check Pin 1 lt blue/red.

It takes about 5 minutes to access the switch so you can check for power.

update?

the gauge dash wont light up. i took the headlight switch off and found a burnt hole in it. i'm waiting for a test light so i can test the fuse's and wires to see if there is power. i might just have to get a new wiring harness for the headlight switch.

Very common issue. You can get a new connector (it will probably be listed as a truck pigtail).

yeah i went to the junkyard yesterday and found that a couple had been burnt just like mine or cut off to be used. so i couldn't find one. still looking for one. going to hit up another junkyard tomorrow. i have another question. there was already no refrigerant in the a/c system. i got all the bolts off of the a/c radiator and the pump so all the hoses in the engine campartment are ready to come out and so is the a/c radiator. but the line that goes from the top of the condenser through the firewall was is holding me back. i cant pull it off. so can i just cut that line and leave it or do i have to take my dash off and ect.. i want to take the whole A/C unit out of my car and put the a/c delete pulley on.

Buy a new connector at the parts store.

i just disconected lines from back of the pump, took out the radiator,cut the line that goes fromt he top of the condenser into the firewall and took it all out. can i leave it unplugged or do i have to cover the line i cut or can i just put a sound detenator rubber piece over the firewall to make it look nice. im going to take out the pump and put the a/c delete pully on. anythin else i should do while im at it???
