my gauges would work off and on (like most of my interior wiring), now they just dont move at all. where would i start checking to see which parts/connections are bad? any input appreciated... thanks.
follow dart273's link above. Most likely you'll find your dash regulator is not working.
I'd replace the dash voltage limiter. They typically go bad as they age on these cars. Does your charging indicator still work when the other gauges do not? if so thats likely the problem, as that gauge is wired seprate from the rest.
