Instrument gauges dead

Post by Ford110 »

I have a 67 f100 4wd with an instrument cluster having temp, oil press, fuel and alternator gauges. All gauges stopped working at once except the alternator. Any idea where to start looking?

:yt: If all of your gauges went out, I would look at the IPVR first. That is more than likely the culprit.

I agree with the IPVR diagnosis. Please see my post about how to fab a $6 IPVR on this site.
Take care,
