    HELP Instrument Cluster with ECO Gauge

    Hi, I try to add some missing LEDs on my cluster. I soldered some LEDs, resistors, LED drivers, & enable the Eco Gauge in ETACS.
    The Eco Gauge is on, but only top LED is bright, the rest are blinking or off, like they're not get enough power. I think I'm still missing some component to add on the board.

    Can anyone with Eco Gauge cluster help me? Please take pictures of Your back cluster's PCB in high resolution if possible so I can read tiny component's code on the board.

    Have you considered just getting a instrument cluster from a wrecked Mirage in either Canada or Europe? Seems like it would be a whole less of a hassle. Just sayin'

    I dont think we have the eco gauge in canada.

    what is that orange light that comes on when the green eco lights go off in the video?
    please consider checking out my Mirage related youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6c...IEViRFw/videos

    The eco gauge shows us how economic is our driving, more mpg more green light on. But when we drive aggressively, less mpg, the orange light comes on.
    Unlike average mpg on MID, it works instantly.

    When looking at the video, I think you have combined 2 different gauges. My gauge has 4 leds, one red and 3 green, more or less on a quarter circle curve. On your video I see only 2 green leds on the curve, and one in the centre. Could it be that the centre led is a different gauge, for cars where only a single 'eco' led is available?

    Mine also has 4 LEDs for the gauge, the 4th LED is off because I messed up with the resistor. I did correct that later after made the video.
    The center LED is for single eco indicator. It should always on when using eco gauge, I'll fix it after my eco gauge works.

    My problem is only top LED that bright, 2nd LED blink, and 3rd LED off. I think it still some components missing if I want the eco gauge works perfectly. So I need pictures of the PCB of the back side to compare with mine.

    there's a model with no ECO indicator i think is the 2013 model, i have manage to look into its ENG-ECU customization before the ECO indicator is off but still wont turn on even if you manage to activate it though option coding. so it has no LED thats why.

    You can add the LED, some resistors, and LED driver (transistor) in red circles.

    FYS - I can understand you wanting to do this as a project. But personally I think the ECO indicator light is just plain D-U-M. It has 0 value. You may do all this work, install it and after 5 minutes of driving go, "meh." Just my opinion.
