Dash gauges not working?
Had the center gauge console out recently. Replaced oil pressure line. Don't know if clock was working but temp, alternator,fuel, are not. The center cluster is a bugger to remove and reinstall. Any suggestions???Thanks again chaz069

Try cleaning the contacts on the connector plug on the back of the console. Also check to make sure its properly inserted into the slot. Sounds like a bad ground and/or connection if most of the gauges are not working. I agree it was a bugger indeed when I had to remove my center cluster to replace the light bulbs

Gauges Stopped Working
I am having the same type of issue. All gauges seemed to be working last year and early this year; except the clock. Now, none of them are working. I will use suggestion to check connections, yet wonder if I have something different going on.

Here is a link to a recent thread I started about gauge issues. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to solve my issue, as the diagnostics recommended started exceeding my toolbox and talent-level, but there is a lot of good information in the thread that may be helpful to you:

Gauges not working
When key is on or off gauges are inoperative. Fuel, amp, and temp, no movement. Clock arm will begin to move if you use the thumbscrew to adjust. Wiper will cycle once and hideaway door will close, will not stay running. Use of override **** under column, hideaway door cycles once and closes. There is power to all fuses, both input and out. chaz069
