irocjoecool Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 What do the battery light, temp gauge, tachometer, fuel gauge, turn signals, power windows, and cruise control have in common? Do they share a power feed or a ground? I just replaced my voltage regulator on the dash and that didn't make a difference. the tach normally works, but when you push a power window switch, turn signal, or press the cruise button it will often times bottom out the tach and the feature(window, cruise, etc) will not work. then sometimes (rarely) it all works fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingman Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 (edited) Search! Sounds like a ground problem, or a short. Edited February 24, 2009 by kingman92010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irocjoecool Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 (edited) Sometimes it is (let's call if 'off" with 'off' being nothing works and warning lights on) 'off' when I crank the car, and none of the things mentioned will work. Then the gauges will start working and the warning lights will go out Sometimes this means all of the electronics will work, sometimes if you try to use the cruise, blinker, or power windows it will make everything go 'off' again and I have searched over the last few months and everything points to voltage regulator, which did NOT fix this Edited February 24, 2009 by irocjoecool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
