Dual-Needle Air-Gauge Faults

PACCAR Air Gauge Repair

A dual-needle air gauge may develop one unresponsive needle, mismatched indications or intermittent movement. Supported PACCAR units are assessed to identify whether the problem involves the gauge, its driver circuits or a wider cluster fault.

  • One needle dead or slow to respond.
  • Erratic movement or different readings between needles.
  • Intermittent operation that needs to be described alongside vehicle-side findings.

Confirm the symptom before removing the cluster

Gauge indications alone do not establish actual system pressure or prove that the cluster is faulty. Have the vehicle-side system and inputs assessed by a qualified technician. Include those findings with the repair request so the cluster review addresses the observed problem.

Information to include

  • Truck year, model and cluster part number
  • Which needle fails and how it behaves
  • Whether the fault changes with temperature or operating time
  • Other gauge, display or lighting symptoms
  • Previous repairs and vehicle-side test findings

Part of the PACCAR cluster service

Canada-wide mail-in or local handling is arranged after compatibility review. For a combination of gauge, display or lighting faults, see PACCAR Instrument Cluster Repair. The main cluster repair page covers other supported applications.
