Hi, All!
I have an '84 Caprice sedan, 305 engine. While driving along during the day, I noticed that the Temperature Gauge and the Fuel Economy Gauge weren't working,
also the headlight warning tone wasn't working. I suspect the Fuel Gauge wasn't working too, but the needle's been wonky for awhile, so I'm not sure. After making
a stop, the Temperature Gauge was working again...for awhile, then stopped. A few years ago, I had some melted wire insulation that caused a short, requiring the
mechanic to raise the car and remove the starter to get to the wires. With that, I didn't have instrument panel lights, nor headlights and interior lights.
I figure if it was a blown fuse, the Temperature Gauge wouldn't have "come back to life", so I'm thinking that it's another group of wires that's grounding out.
Bye,
Daniel
