Hi,

I was sent here by ACT1292 from the volvo forums and I was told to ask for ART.

I bought my 85 244 without the gas gauge working about a year and a half ago. I have been working with my gauges, testing my voltage stabilizer, and working on the cluster the last few weeks. Anyway, the other day I was checking voltage on my 32 and 31 cluster wiring not realizing I had my multimeter in the 10V section. Well of course it sparked a little while touching the probe and then my idiot lights flashed a few times and I have now lost power to my cluster. My cluster night lights come on but it is my understanding they are run through a different system than the idiot lights, etc.

After the incident I tested my voltage stabilizer and I am getting no voltage on anything. The circuit board doesn't smell burnt and no resistors appear to be blown. Also, during the incident, no smoking or such occurred. I have also lost all function of my turn signals as apparently they are powered through the cluster as well. I would like to get this taken care of and I feel the issue is power source related. I do have hazards and all fuses are clean and giving off well over 12V.

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks
