Removal and installation of the Gazelle car instrument cluster

Three instrument clusters can be installed on Gazelle cars: an old model of production until 2003, a new model of production from 2003 for cars with engines ZMZ-4063, ZMZ-40522, UMZ-4215 and a new model of production from 2003 for cars with engines ZMZ-40524 and UMZ-4218

The instrument cluster combines all of the vehicle's instrumentation.

It includes a speedometer, total and daily mileage counters (in combinations of the old model of production until 2003 and the new model of production from 2003 for cars with engines ZMZ-4963 ZMZ-40522 and UM Z-4215 mechanical counters.

And in the combination of a new model of production since 2003 for cars with engines ZMZ-40524 and UMZ-4218, the counters are located on the first liquid crystal display), an electronic tachometer (from 0 to 6000 min^-1), a clock and a voltmeter on the second liquid crystal display (in combination with a new model of production since 2003 for cars with engines ZMZ-40524 and UMZ-4218), coolant temperature gauge, fuel level gauge, control and signal lamps, backlight lamps.

Temperature and fuel gauges of electromagnetic type.

In the instrument cluster of a new model of release since 2003 for cars with engines ZMZ-40524 and UMZ-4218, an audible alarm function is provided in the event of an emergency.

In addition, it uses the modes of "night" and "day" backlighting of liquid crystal displays for easy viewing of readings

The developers of the instrument cluster have also introduced a self-test mode, which allows you to control the correct operation of the pointers, display information on liquid crystal displays, and the operability of alarms

The instrument cluster is not repairable, therefore, in case of failure of the instruments, it is replaced as an assembly.

Removing the instrument cluster of cars produced before 2003

Disconnect the battery.

The instrument cluster is installed on the dashboard, which combines in one case:

• - speedometer (with counters for total and daily mileage);
• - tachometer;
• - indicators of coolant temperature, fuel level (with fuel reserve alarm), oil pressure (with emergency pressure alarm);
• - voltmeter;
• - a block of signaling devices for battery charge, high beam headlights, direction indicators, side light, emergency drop in the level of brake fluid and parking brake, overheating of the coolant, switching on the center differential lock of the transfer case (for 4x4 modification).

With a short Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the two screws of the upper fastening of the instrument cluster lining

Using a screwdriver, we unscrew the two screws of the lower fastening of the instrument cluster lining

Removing the lining.

Using pliers, we unscrew the nut securing the handle for resetting the daily mileage counter.

Recessing the handle into the control panel

Using a long slotted screwdriver, unscrew the two screws from the ends of the instrument cluster

Removing the instrument cluster from the panel, unscrew the speedometer cable fastening nut.

Disconnect the three plug blocks from the terminals of the instrument cluster.

The pads differ in color and number of connectors, so you don't need to label them.

To replace the instrument illumination lamps, turn the cartridge counterclockwise and remove it from the instrument cluster

Replacing a faulty lamp.

To replace the signaling lamp, turn the cartridge counterclockwise and remove it from the instrument cluster

We change the defective lamp together with the cartridge

We assemble and install the instrument cluster in reverse order.

To remove the instrument cluster of a car manufactured since 2003, do the following

This is what the instrument cluster looks like from 2003

Disconnect the wire from the negative terminal of the battery.

Pry off the edge of the right plug at the bottom of the instrument cluster trim

Remove the plug

We also remove the plug on the left side of the cladding.

Unscrew the lower right screw

Remove the bottom left screw

Remove the two upper screws securing the instrument cluster trim

Remove the lining of the instrument cluster

We unscrew the four bolts of the instrument cluster

We remove the instrument cluster from the socket in the instrument panel, disconnect the wiring harness pads from it and remove the combination

Install in reverse order.

Replacing bulbs in the instrument cluster

The figure shows the location of the lamps in the instrument cluster of a car manufactured since 2003.

Replacement of these lamps is provided by the manufacturer of the combination.

Those characters that are not in the figure are highlighted by LEDs that cannot be replaced.

The LEDs are located on the reverse side of the printed circuit board and are replaced as an assembly with the instrument cluster.

Disconnect the wire from the negative terminal of the battery.

Remove the instrument cluster

To replace the instrument light, turn its socket counterclockwise

Remove the cartridge from the printed circuit board of the instrument cluster.

Lamps in the instrument cluster of a car from 2003

replaced assembled with the cartridge, since the lamp contacts are soldered to the contact plates of the cartridge.
