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.

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.

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.
