Stock Batt guage?? SUCKS!

So, i've been obsessing with my battery guage over the past couple of post.

Basiccally it goes like this. THis morning i decided to tap my guage cluster when my batt guage went down to 10 or so. And what happend, it jumped up to 14.. after a couple min, it went back down to 10, tapped it again, Otherwise what i'm trying to say is that it was my guage the whole time.

I never thought i would have to be replacing my batt guage. WTF!

No, your problem is not the gauge, it is the screws on the back of the gauges. You have corrosion on them or the contacts. You need to clean the screws and then tighten them back up.
