92 and 93 are the only years you'll want. You can try removing the gauge cluster and cleaning/reseating the connectors. There's a good chance there are broken circuits inside the cluster and it's dead. Happened to me.

If there's corrosion, I'd try baking soda in water and a toothbrush.

I also have a 93 ssei and am having dash problems as well.
My gages are pegging high and sometimes low. So, keep me posted on what happens for you and what was your fix.

-Thanks,
Brent

My 95 had the same problem. I had gone through the fuses and found that they all had corrosion on them and in the connectors. I cleaned all the fuses and connectors the best I could and the cluster worked for a couple of days and then stopped again. That gave me the idea that I probably had the same problem with all my electrical connections. Sure enough, I took the cluster apart and cleaned the connectors (which had corrosion on them) and they have worked like a dream since!

I'd go there first...happy cleaning! :wink:
