Troy Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 On rare occasion, the fuel, temp and oil gauge will go full range, charge is fine. Dash lights still dim normally, radio works fine and vehicle continues to run without a hiccup. Where should a guy start looking and cleaning as I can never force the issue to happen?

PetesPonies Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Being that it is all three gauges, I would look to the IVR. If full voltage reaches the gauges, they will peg. each individual gauge will peg if the wire to the sender is grounded . . but that isn't going to happen for all of them at the same time :) Check the IVR.

Check on Gary's information, he has a very good electronic replacement for the thermo-mechanical ICVR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Lewis Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Check on Gary's information, he has a very good electronic replacement for the thermo-mechanical ICVR. Yep - All three gauges is almost for certain the IVR/ICVR. The how-to for replacement is here: Electrical/ICVR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troy Posted December 2, 2017 Author Share Posted December 2, 2017 Good plan, Stan. Okay...no ICVR on the instrument cluster....where is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Okay...no ICVR on the instrument cluster....where is it? The oil pressure, fuel gauge, and water temp aren't going to work w/o an ICVR. So, if they are it is there.
