I'm having a hard time figuring out why, my horn, clock, water temp and gas gauge don't work. I've checked every thing I can think of, I even have a second instrument cluster, and have re-wired all the grounds behind the dash and the fuse box.

Looking at the wiring diagrams the effected items don't share anything in common.

And on a semi related mote does anyone know the Ohm range for the fuel tank sending unit? How many ohms full how many empty?

Car is a 64 Sport fury!

Thanks in advance!

 

I've tried 3 different and new regulators, re grounded all the grounds, tried a second set of gauges, and re-wired the fuse box, in theory they all should be working, but arn't!

 

Yeah! I'm getting Ohms at the sending unit and the gauge, and voltage at the gauges. I have two instrument clusters and have tried both, along with 3 new voltage regulators, I've even ran new wiring from the sending units direct to the gauges so there are no shorts or breaks in the line.

Since I want to drive this car asap I've ordered a set of after-market gauges, Electric water temp, Electric oil pressure, and fuel level, and will mount them in a pod next to the shifter so I can drive it daily while still trying to figure out the original gauges!

On what may be a related subject, I noticed yesterday that when the ignition is on, but the car not running, the left turn signal is dimly lit, anyone have an idea what this is about?

thanks

Mike

 

I brought the car back in October, everything was working then, i only briefly drove it (like a day) before the snow came and i put it away for the winter, i never really got a chance for a good shake down before I had to park it!

With the dimly lit signal light being a possible ground fault, I'll have to go looking behind the dash and elsewhere, I'll bet dollars to doughnuts this is related to the gauge/horn/clock issue!
