How do you tell if the instrument cluster is out on a Oldsmobile cutlass supreme?

I have a 90 cutlass supreme. Mine has been going goofy for some time now. If it blacks out, flashes off and on, or shows different readings on fuel gauge, odometer or speedometer then you have problem. I took it out and looked for loose plug wires(1 plug) or cicuits. Found none. Needs replaced. Can sometimes be found on Ebay for cheap price. If so make sure it right one!!!

How do you access the fuel pump on a 1994 Oldsmobile cutlass supreme?

The fuel pump is located in the gas tank. 1996 & up you can access by removing the back seat. Your model (same as mine unfortunately) needs to be jacked up so you can drop the tank & remove it from the top. Since we did mine the gas gauge is off by 1/4 tank (found that out the hard way) so be careful with the float.
