68 Gauges not working
« on: January 22, 2010, 05:28:36 PM »
oil, temperature and fuel gauges are not working all of them are to the left, I tested the sending units and found out that the regulator on the back of the panel nedded to be replace. I did so and the gauges were working as normal the next day while I was driving the fuel gauge started to move lef to right  and them the  oil and temperature gauges were  doing the same until all of them went all the way to the left. Could it be a ground wire causing the problem in the back of the cluster or a defective regulator I haven't have time to get back there to look again. I was wondering if anybody has had this problem before.

Oil and temp gauges were working normal until the fuel gauge started to move to the left and back to the right.

My 69 guages stopped working. I replaced the  instrument voltage regulator , new circuit board, all new light bulbs took the gauges out and put black electrical tape around the metal openings where the guages might touch and ground out. after re assembling the gages and putting everything back they all worked again.

Yea, most of the time it is a grounding issue.
