1. [Tigers] 3 gauges stopped working (score: 1)

Three gauges quit working yesterday - fuel, temp and tach. They were on and off for a while, then off. I checked the fuse box but found nothing loose and no bad fuse. Is there another central locatio

The ground wire on many of the gauges is looped from one gauge to the next. If the ground wire is loose at the end, all of those gauges could stop working. Also a fuse making bad contact would create

One of the most insidious kinds of failure is traceable to the daisy-chained ground wires. If the ground wire becomes disconnected from the chassis, then the gauges can still return current through t

There's a voltage stabilizer behind the dash that's supposed to keep the voltage constant at @ 12v (see the service manual for the exact voltage). You might look at he voltage input on one of the fai

The stabilizer only regulates the fuel and temperature gauges (to 10 volts average); the tach has its own internal regulation. However, a failure of the stabilizer that shorted the (green) circuit to

True. (I looked at the Mark 2 diagram). Grounding is simple to check, so's voltage. I suspect but don't know, that a short in the stabilizer would awaken the smoke gods or blow the fuse. Anyhow, sche

The lights in those gauges rely on the same (daisy-chained) ground to work. If the instruments will light when the panel light switch is ON then the problem can't be the ground. If they won't light,

If the three gauges stopped functioning it almost has to be the voltage stabilizer. If you've ever looked at that piece out from behind the dash, it is a very fragile item. When mine went bad several

Fuses can also be bad and look as though they should be okay. On older fuses the fuse material can become dislodged inside the end cap and make intermittent contact. --Original Message-- From: tigers
