05 GT speedo and temp gauge issues

[stormy69]

I just picked this car up and both the speedo and temp needles point straight down and don't move. Ideas welcomed before i go dig in, its in the mid teens right now!

Stepper motors

is that a common issue? I haven't looked at a circuit diagram, are both driven by the same power supply?

Stepper motors for sure, 3 out of 4 of them died on mine before they were replaced.

Same here, my speedo isn't quite dead but I haven't been below 160 MPH in quite awhile...

drums rollingggggggg they work! tach and temp were the dead ones before starting, i replaced all 4 (non premium gt?) and tach and temp both function. Car has other issues i am getting to so i didnt take it for a spin yet.

Good to hear! When I did mine, I somehow managed to tear it up and had to get a new cluster.
