Dan, Sometimes the wire will be broken near the connector that attaches to the sensor. The break will be covered by insulation & the wire will seem intact.
To check for this, bend the wire back & forth bear the connector. If you find one spot more flexible than the rest, you found it.

Easy enough to do. Peter On May 21, 2009, at 9:35 PM, Dan Weeks wrote: > Today I removed the dash cluster and removed and cleaned all the > grounds and replaced the cluster.
