The gauge cluster in my Valiant is being temperamental at the moment... :banghead:
To start, the speedometer is acting very strange. The needle jumps like crazy for no reason-- for example, I will be going 25 MPH and it will be jumping up and down from 25 MPH to 60 MPH very rapidly. I'm not sure if this is a sign that it's going to break soon, or if the needle needs to be oiled up or something. It also looks a little crooked too for some reason...what do you guys think of this?
Now, to the gasoline and temperature gauges-- both don't work whatsoever. I know that these had problems with the gasoline gauge, but I'm not sure if it's the gauge itself or possibly a bad sensor in the gas tank (which I would have to drop if it was). As for the temperature gauge, I think that is hooked up the the manifold somewhere if I'm not mistaken. What do you guys think it could be and also how to fix them?
I would really like to get these all working properly if it's possible. The only gauge that works is the alternator gauge. Anyway, I just thought I would ask, any information on how to fix these is much appreciated!
