The gauge failure posts cursed my car

New IVR installed,
(I put Xmas lights on my dart and that means I can not open my driver's door.
There I am in the dark strearched acrosed the hump and my feet sticking up in the air, with my belly jiggling like Santa Clause. What a sight!)


Well the fuel gauge is fine full at full tank.

The temp gauge as I suspected will need replacement. Is reading about 1/2 gauge low.

I tested it with my 10 ohm resistors and my 1 ohm resistors in series to achieve the appropriate low, 1/2 and full readings..
