guages and indicator operation | Joined: Dec 2012 Posts: 376 Likes: 2 enthusiast | OP enthusiast Joined: Dec 2012 Posts: 376 Likes: 2 | Hi, my indicators and general electric operation of headlamps, dashlights, indicators etc has been erratic, had a guy come round today, he spent a good couple of hours and seems to have rectified everything, Thats good news, just a couple of questions, bearing in mind my van is a 1980 G10 auto shorty. 1...... the instrument cluster has three gauges, top temp, left oil press, right volts. temp is fine, volts are fine, but if i turn the eng off the press gauge stays at the reading its on, until i turn the ign back on then it goes to zero.
2........select right or left turn signal ...all indicators seem normal , the front side markers flash with front indicators but the rears dont.flash at all......is that correct? cheers and thanks.

I met a girl there named Prunellia Hare, I will never forget her, an angel in human form....Love at 1st site. I was 19 at the time & almost jumped ship to be with her. Then her dad stepped up & took me back to the ship.
The memories you brought back ....thank you

also the fuel and oil press guages readings drop and `pulse` with the flashers. I am going to pick up a heavy duty flasher unit today and prob buy some new bulbs as well.
Hey Big Time, are you going to Ballarat Beat? Its a Rockabilly fest in Feb next year. I am bringing Lance Lipinsky over then we`ll do some shows here in Brissie. | | | Re: guages and indicator operation | Joined: Jul 2017 Posts: 125 member | member Joined: Jul 2017 Posts: 125 | hi Matman,i have heard of Ballarat Beat,and LL,big chance i'l get there.if so i will try and find you and say hello,sound's like a earth issue with the electrics | | |
