Lost Gas in Temperature gauge in dash at the same time

[Rocketman]

I thought it was fuse, old one was not blown but replaced, no fix. removed and brush the fuse area and replaced, still no fix. What else comes to mind where both would go at same time?

Voltage regulator behind the dash.

Sheet metal nuts on the back of the cluster have backed off.

Does oil pressure gauge still work?

It can be idiiot light if GTX ( standard dash )

IF VOLTAGE LIMITER WENT OUT, you can probably say bye to the gauges too, depending on how failed

Replace the stamped nuts on the back of the dash with standard style nuts. They make a better connection.

my dash does not have that, I added it later in a drop down under the dash, thanks

great read. 40 year old voltage limiter is crap. You can replace it with a more modern regulator and capacitor. Parts are cheap and an easy find at any electronics store. My gauges never worked but they work great now

the regulator is located on the back of the instrument panel on the circuit board. Its a rectangular cube that just plugs in the circuit board. if you do a google search for mopar voltage regulator you can see pics of it. the soild state one that real time engineering (RTE) makes is the one to get.
