Checked water level, fan belt tightness/possible breakage, everything OK.. Happened again and I notice ALL of my gauges ( Voltage, fuel, and temp are all swinging to the right a couple of needle widths more.. As I drive along next look at the gauges, all are acting normal. As said above, rebuilt gauges by redline, all new wire harnesses, electronic voltage regulator.... Any thoughts on here?? TY Last edited by minivan; 09/19/15 05:44 PM.
