Having difficulty with the guages on the cluster. If I leave the ignition on acc or irght before the car turns over, the guages register fine. When I turn the ignition the guages go off and stay off until I turn the steering wheel just a little bit....gas guage works ok but does not register to the top with the tank full (any help here?)

If I turn the steering wheel with the car running say to the left and small bit the guages will come on (oil, coolant speedo and tach) but will not stay on unless i hold the steering will right there.

Any help on this? I have asked before and other members have asked but to no avail. Should I look at my ignition switch? Could the steering wheel be pulling on the harness wiring?

TIA

 

Just a refresher....hopefully someone will help here.

With the ignition key on "ON" the cluster works....when the car is starting the guages work...it is when the cars is running that they stop working. Except my gas guage...also the coolant temp guage goes to max and the oil pressure guage goes to max. The level sensors for both work fine though...if I am low on oil the light goes red if I am low on coolant the light will go red.

any help on this one y 'all?

TIA

 

Bump. My coolant guage is maxing out when I have it on accessory and while the car is on (even though the car is no where near running hot). What is the cause of this?
