Hey guys,

Just got my girlfriend a '95 Lude SE with the EL gauges... Car is in excellent shape, but there is now a problem with the EL Gas and ECT gauge, in the center of the dash.

When we went and looked at the car, it was working fine, all the gauges worked. After we picked it up, we noticed that the gauge in the center no longer works.

It's not the sensors or their respective sending units, it is the gauge itself. It no longer lights up, leading me to believe there is a bad contact somewhere...

Anyone else have this problem? It is retarded for Honda to put in gauges that are critical for driving (ECT and FUEL) yet cost $600 for a new unit.

I looked all over and found only one other reference on Honda-tech from years ago, saying someone had a similiar problem, but that they had to buy a new gauge unit from ebay cause the new one is WAY to expensive.

I've already checked the operation of the combination light switch and this is fine, so I'm gonna have to tear apart the dash...

Anyone have this/heard of this problem?
Thanks for the help!
