HELP!! (again)

OK I need ideas, all my gauges stopped working with the exception of my speedometer and Sunpro Tach. What gives? Im thinking either a lose ground or a bad printed circuit. I tried to install a electir fan last summer and the temp gauge froze (think that one grounded out) then the volt, oil and fuel gauges went soon after. Being 30 years old it wouldnt surprise me if the circuit did go bad. Any ideas?

sounds like grounding issues. It could be the circuit but i would explore grounding first.

Re: HELP!! (again)

the fuses were the first things I checked. All checked out good.
