OK. Just installed my new redlinegauges solid state limiter. Now I get nothing. Grrrrrrrrr......
Recap:
My temp gauge used to work fine. Just no Oil Pressure or Gas Gauge.
I replaced the sender on my oil pressure gauge. It started to work.
After tightening the bolts on the back of the gas gauge, I got a reading of about 1/2 full, which was probably right.
I did all this with the cluster installed in the car. After then re-assembling everything and putting it all back together I had a weird thing where the light next to the gas gauge would flash along with the limiter pulse. I pulled the light and I again got 1/2 tank on the gauge.
After final re-assembly, when I turned on the key, the gas and temp gauges would slowly want to peg. Oil Pressure didn't move. When I start the car the oil pressure would immediately peg, and the gas and temp gauges would also peg if I let the car run long enough.
Installed the new solid state limiter - now gauges don't move at all. Nothing. Key on, car running, doesn't matter. Put the old limiter back in and I got the same peg behavior.
What the heck? I need to start from scratch diagnosing the whole system again with the new limiter? That would blow. How do I know the new limiter even works?
My brain still hurts. Too many variables to figure out. This is getting real old real fast. I could pull the entire cluster again and do everything on the bench, but darnit I did that once (now twice counting the restore I did a few years ago). Yeah,yeah, yeah, I can send my cluster to Redline and they'll do it all up for me. There's only 6 weeks left of summer. I'd really like to drive my car.
I'm really getting frustrated. Any suggestions short of starting all over from scratch with the entire diagnostic procedure?
