Gauges go to full tilt!?!
1966 Barracuda. All new harness, gauges reworked, new circuit boards- factory voltage regulator for dash.
So I’ve put 362 flawless miles after the total rebuild and decided to take the car out and make it a even 400 before the weekend is over. I start the car and all my gauges go to full tilt. I shut of off immediately and cannot find a solution other than dash voltage regulator is stuck. But I have a good ground via cluster, the pin out on the picture shows voltage results with my DVOM. I don’t own a analog voltage meter. One of the terminals should pulse I believe.
I also believe the middle upper terminal should be a ground but I have 12.8vdc. My terminal closest to the coolant gauge is at 8.2 but at idle is 7.9vdc. The terminal closest to the speedometer is 13.2vdc. Just looking to confirm all suspects are correct before I order a new modern electronic voltage regulator for the cluster. 4 days from Az to Ct. $50.00.
