It only beeps twice after it starts up and never again. It always shows the 2 messages at the bottom but it doesnt cause anything bad. The fuel gauge stops blinking after a while and reads empty.

The message bar is the check engine light. Instead of showing a light, it just tells you what it is. I can press a button and it would show the time but then it would go back to the warning messages.

That video explains it all. I am having an issue w my tach now. It sems that it works perfectly when it is cold outside or inside my car but when its hot it dosent read corectly. Sh Jzz30 have you had this issue or not. Im thinking of installing some fans or something bc i think it may be overheating.

I've been living with it since I bought the car. It's hardly noticable. I've just been lazy to buy another steering wheel I checked the code on the air bag light. I don't remember the number but it was Squib D that was faulty. I have the fuel sender unit but I need to get longer screws and find a plug that goes into it. It has about 5 or 6 pins. Then I will have to get it wired. I've been using the trip odometer to check how much fuel I have left.

No I haven't had this problem at all. Hopefully I don't jinx myself. Did you splice wires? Did you solder? If not, you should so they have a better connection. Maybe the gauge cluster could be faulty. Check soarer world forum. I got alot of info on soarers from over there.

I'm pretty sure the harness is different YeA, and really I'm not sure but you might have to have the Soarer ECU as well- like ucfa4 has. I just happened to buy the cluster/harness a while back and it just sat in my room for close to a year, so I resold it. I never even tried to turn it on- Hope you get the issues figured out ucfa4. I've never heard of clusters overheating? Hmnn
