Hi. I finally got the gauge problem working.
I was looking at other posts and saw that some got their power off of the red w/ white strip wire going to the parking light button. I tried this too, but found out you have to have the parking lights on when ever you light up the gauges. After checking other wires, I found that the blue w/ brown wire had power going to it constantly.
Well I spliced the power for the gauges to that wire and grounded it to one of the screws by the steering column.
So after I buttoned everything up, I took it for a test drive (why not!?
).
BUT while driving I notice that the speedometer was totally off (about 7-10mph) and usually it's right on the money. As for my fuel, and temp. gauges they were also off. The only thing that seems to be working right is my rpm gauge (because the idle hasn't changed).
I'm just wondering if any of you had the same thing happen and/or if you know the best way to recalibrate them.
