How appropriate considering the war of words lately between Shatner and Fisher.

Stop the madness, they are both great franchises!

OK...back on topic. Need more help. I put more gas in the tank and the gas gauge didn't move (but the other three gauges seem to be working). I put the new instrument cluster voltage limiter in and the fuel gauge and amp gauge seem to be working but the temp gauge and oil pressure gauge just spike all the way up. Any suggestions??? Help!!!

Yes. This is the strangest issue. With the old limiter everything is working except fuel gauge and with the new limiter the fuel and amp gauge is fine but the oil and temp spike all the way up right away.

Is this a "new" as in new from a parts store "new" voltage limiter or "new" in the sense that it came from another parts van?

I would look for a grounding issue at the circuit board and the associated wiring. Have you verified that the oil and temp sending units are correct and working right?


Windows- they're what make a van worth owning!

It's new from NAPA. The other gauges work with the old limiter. I will say this....the new limiter (that NAPA looked up and said was correct) is the same size, has the three prongs (tabs) all in the exact same position but the new limiter has a tab off of the back of it that looks like it would be a grounding tab but the old limiter didn't have one and the new one didn't say anything about grounding the limiter.
