Partial Cluster Power - probs not an IVR issue

All tips were great - thank you all - it sparked my thinking. It seems I not only had a bad ground, but a bad temp sender too. Process of elimination also concluded that my Fuel gauge is kaput. A project for another day. Oil and Temp are much more important than a fuel gauge (to me).

Thanks again to all!

Both the old IVR and the actual fuel gauge nichrome is very black, so I would agree with your assement as stands. I replaced all with the charger specialties gauges and replaced the Tach board why I had the cluster on the bench. Mounted the SS IVR as you did. Happy camper now!
