Default Electrical/Gauge Problems

Three problems here we go.

Tach Doesn't work- Replaced Board, where can I track the wires to?

Voltage Gauge- Doesn't work, where do the wires attach so I can trace them?

Blinkers- They both light up (not blink) just light up when the headlights are on, but they do blink when I have the blinker on.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Bill

Default C3 guages

I picked up a 79 a couple of months ago and the previous owner said the temp gague never work since he had it. After I pulled the console and instrument cluster, I found the circuit board on the back of the cluster had a broken wire - probably from this guy putting in a new radio and jamming the cluster back into place. The plug that powers all the gagues and their lights plugs into the back of the cluster. It takes off behind the tack/spedo panel after that.
