Fuel/Water Temp Gauge Issue Found! Now what...
Don't stop there. More work to be done, you can fix it
I think this is the old thread on board repair, but the photophhphphphucket has crapped on the photos
Printed circuit pins repair
General idea:
Harness connector pins. Clean them and solder the pins to the board traces
Solder jumpers across the spring clips that make contact with the IVR. The fingers lose contact with the board traces
Loosen/ tighten the gauge stud nuts several times as they get corroded
Add a ground pigtail to a ground point on the board and bolt the other end to a ground such as column support.
Buy yourself a solid state replacement for the IVR
Use big eraser to buff clean the copper where the bulb sockets contact, and be sure the spring contacts are in good shape and clean
BE CAREFUL!!! DISCONNECT the battery!!! The BIG BLACK and BIG RED ammeter wires are both always HOT!! They are NOT fused
NOTICE!! THE ABOVE ARE NOT MY PHOTOS THEY came from the 'lost thread' with the lost photobucket photos
