Continental GT Instrument Cluster Bench Test
Continental GT Instrument Cluster Bench Test
Hey all,
I promise I researched high and low but for the life of me cannot find a pin out wiring diagram for the instrument gauge cluster. I read rumors there are dedicated pins for 12v+ and 12v ground specifically for testing the cluster, but no mention of what pin numbers/colors are.
Car; 05 Continental GT (I do not have the car, but I do have the wiring plug and 10" of wiring to work with, making testing pretty easy if I knew what pins to work with)
Main Goal; Use a 12V test bench to determine if the backlight and LCD work on a gauge cluster
Secondary Goal; See mileage stored on cluster
Tools at disposal; Test leads, multimeter, 12V source, a brain with at least a few functioning connections left.
The other option I was thinking of exploring is testing Ohms/resistance of the transformer that powers the backlight on the circuit board, but again..I can't find any electrical data on what the pins expected ohms/resistance is for the transformer.
