Well that sounds like a faulty cluster. There are companies that refurbish them, or you can take a trip to the junkyard. Ah yes. '91 appears to be in the middle of a few years that nobody seems to repair! Later? Yep. Earlier? Maybe. Any that I find listed for sale have a disclaimer, something to th...

The gauges all read in the middle of their travel Even with the ignition off? Yes, with the ignition off and EVEN with the cluster fully disconnected and removed from the dash! Did the cluster die? Or is there an internal voltage regulator, relay or something inside the cluster housing that can get...

I Found the fuse, checked it to be good, cleaned all contacts, still no love!

Hey Folks, Long Time No See, Thankfully! 1991, bare bones cargo van with AC. Before digging much further, the speedometer and gauges just stopped working, all at the same time. The gauges all read in the middle of their travel, except for the voltage/battery/amp gauge that has never worked or moved ...

I guess I should have mentioned that this is on a 91 Astro, automatic, with AC & cruise!
Thanks,

Hi All, Like the title says, I'd like to know where the OEM style vacuum reservoirs are intended to go. It appears that both the one for the cruise and the one for the AC/Heater contols have been replace with the wrong ones and are not in the stock locations. Even a couple pics would be very cool. T...

Listed on Craigslist with the title "1991 Astro Van, $300, No Title!" I'm sure the no title scared everyone off, as they only had three calls in three weeks. Turns out they actually have the title, just not signed. The older gentleman, now 88, bought it in 93 for $8,000 cash and never thou...

Hey Smiliesafari, It's nice to see a reply. :cheers: I would be surprised to see distributor wear in 80,000 miles, but you're not the first to suggest a distributor issue, however for different issues than what you allude to. It sure can't hurt to check it and replacements seem to be fairly inexpens...

Hi Folks, I've been a pretty good mechanic on older vehicles for fifty years, but I have no idea what to do or where to start on my "New To Me" Astro Van, that I just bought to haul my band around town. I want to go through everything that I can in one pull of the doghouse. Here's what I'v...

Hi All, I'm an Astro newbie, except for 17 years ago I had a 1985 Astro that never required anything except routine maintenance and driving, until totaled by my son! Well, I'm acquiring (for pennies) a 1991 Astro/4.3 that while running great, simply stopped 2 years ago. Mostly non-mechanical brother...
