Where do I get resistor for gauges?

Post by Kurt Combs »

Driving home last night watching my gauges because I had an oil leak causing concerns I pulled off the freeway to check under the hood, all was fine. I get back in the truck and all gauges went bad, fuel from half a tank to empty, temp all the way down and oil almost all the way. I assume the resistor on the back of the gauge panel died (at a really bad time). Anyone know what part I should ask for at the parts store or a good online source. I would rather have part before pulling the panel, so any help appreciated.

You can find them at LMC for sure and probably all the other usual parts sources.

Any u-pick-it junk yard is another source for a Instrument Voltage Regulator. Very common in Ford products.
