Rally Dash

update so i pulled cluster again change all the gauge nuts as u stated previous and tested for continuity at each conection as i pit back together and now all the gauges are powered up but they all go to far right so from empty gas gauge goes to full oil goes to high and temp goes to hot. i tested the voltage at each gauge and it is at 11 + volts. should it not be 5 volts? i am now wondering if the VR in fuel gauge is bad now? i seen on here where they eliminated the factory one and install a external solid state one. I have everything here to do it kinda wish i had of while it was out but just was abit hesitant. i also have installed the external VR and its still does the same its one i had here so its not new. I did test and it has continuity and the terminal that should be 5 volts is 11 volts so now im wondering if the VR i had is bad. I guess i order a new one and try but i have a feeling its no going to be the issue. after more research iam see that the voltage is correct at the 11 volts. it pulsates same as a test light on these pulsate bright light which iam told bring the voltage to around 5 volts. So now im stumpped
