Voltmeter failure

[IGI]

My CUCV voltmeter doesn't work.
Where can I find the spare?

Thank you very much!!!

Is it getting power? I seem to remember a fuse for that unit... check your 34. Saturn may have replacement.

Thank you very much!!!

Sorry, is the fuse n°34??? I don't speak english very well.

You might want to also try taking the volt meter out and cleaning the contacts and the contacts on the porcelan resistor on the volmeter itself. Mine stopped working and it turned out the contacts on the resistor were just dirty.

Yes, the windshield wipers didn't work only because the contact are dirty... I'll try to clean them.
To remove the voltmeter I have only to slip off?

take the trim panel off the instrument cluster, you should be able to get at the brace the holds the gauge in. It will be tight but you should be able to do it. Otherwise you have to remove the dashpad and everything to get it out.

-34 would be the Parts and Service Manual for your truck. And your English is fine!

That looks more like a duece gauge than a CUCV. It would work as I've had one in mine but there is no provision for a light bulb. the housing is clear and gets light from some other source. But worked fine until I realized there was nothing wrong with the one that came with the truck.
