all right ive been procrastinating on this one. when i bought the car the only gauges that work are my speedo and tach. no fuel level, water temp, oil pressure nothing. Do any of you have any ideas?

Fuse is good im not that dumb.

 

Check the meter fuse, lol.

 

all fuses are good. havnt checked ones under hood though could one of those cause it.

 

check the sensors.

 

Check to make sure everything is plugged in real snug on the back of the cluster

 

Make sure your grounds are good especially the one on the drive side fender in the engine compartment

 

I doubt its the grounds, but its worth looking into as our cars are approaching there 30's!

 

thanks ill have to do those things. I did check the connectors to the back of the gauges there good and tight so its not them. what fun that was lol. could they have made those wires any shorter.

 

There is an electrical supplement you can download. Google it..

Shows how to test everything with a multimeter.

 

i know how to check just about anything with a DMM i was just hoping someone else may have had this problem before i go and start probing everthing. Im just lazy i geuss

 

check the 2-wire pigtail behind the alternator. without it, gauges wont work provided everything else are in ship shape condition.
