[QUOTE="crash2, post: 1439088, member: 15940"] So there was only one problem left to handle. Once in a while the temp/fuel/oil pressure guages would go dead. I pulled the cluster out enough to get to the back side and check the voltage at the temp guage. I found at times it would go from 4v to 0v and 1v to 0 volts. So I got out the schematics and started checking things out. Here is where I learned something new about the car. I found something on the back of the cluster that looked like a circuit breaker and I had constant B+ on one leg and the fluctuating voltage on the other. So I did a bunch of reading and found it was actually a mechanical Voltage regulator--see something new. Well this one is bad. So I found this write up on how to build one for under $10 that was solid state.
