Search Auto Parts Search Problem With Gauges Sign up here!   Email This Post Auto Repair Home>> Automotive Repair>> Automotive Wiring and Electrical DJHavel New User Sep 11, 2011, 1:36 PM Post #1 of 3 (1363 views) Problem With Gauges Sign In I have a 1981 GMC Caballero 3.8L 2 barrel carb. Its pretty much identical to the Chevy El Camino of same year. The problem is that the fuel gauge and voltmeter do not read correctly. I took apart the console that holds all the gauges and cleaned all the connectors on the blue wiring harness. The fuel gauge never reads past half a tank but i dont think it has anything to do with the float because when i wiggle the console around it will read past full. the voltmeter had worked before i took apart the console on a previous occasion to fix the speedometer. the voltmeter looks like it moves the correct distance but its like the needle is just moved down to the wrong spot. What should i do?
