Guage cluster problems

Post by Memphobanjo »

My water temp and oil pressure gauges peg out when connected I have put new sensors in also have tested the gauges by alligator clipping the wire at the sensor to ground and the gauges peg out when tested which should be correct but still can't figure out why they are not working any ideas?

There is a Voltage Regulator on the Instrument cluster that could be your problem.

:yt: There are some threads on here about it. Look up "IPVR" or "Instrument Panel Voltage Regulator".

I don't know if this thread is going to make you feel better or worse.
