Ok i have spent the last 4 hrs getting some info on what to check and its now midnight and I'm weary. So hopefully i'm doing the right thing. this afternoon was check out the sticky starter thread and checking the said relay and under my dash for connections and stuff. this was right after work. Turned on my car my gauges worked like normal. had to make a quick U-turn and now they are all non functional. well the spedo works and i did notice a little more kick/response from the car. but anyways. i digress. the oil,water, volt and tach are not working. lights are fine. turn signals are all fine dash lights etc. I'm thinking it may have something to do when i looked under the dash but they were working fine afterwards. i guess my question is what do i need to check. i know the tach gets signal from the coils right? i checked the connectors mentioned here; https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generati...-again-818475/ but its not just the oil pressure. any info would be great. or a point in the right direction. electrical makes my head hurt.

thanks in advance.

 

Check the 10a METER fuse.

 

ugh. i feel retarded. it was actually a 7.5 fuse but i only had an extra 10 fuse. does that matter? i wonder why it blew? i gotta take some pictures under that dash there are a few connectors with open wires that i have no idea where they go do. thanks clokker.

 

You don't want to use a fuse which allows more amps then the circuit was designed for.

 

The METER fuse is supposed to be 10A, the ROOM fuse is 7.5A.

 

mmm. to locate the METER fuse i looked up Icemarks old FAQ post. https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generati...faq-fc-494667/

says its 7.5

im not trying to 1 up or anything i just want the right info. so 7.5 or 10a. or am i reading it wrong?
