I made a mistake. I doubled checked to make sure I was giving the right info. and I dont have any voltage on # 10 and # 11 which are the temp and fuel guages. I have one blown fuse in the fuse box and it's marked radio. I've tried replacing it and it keeps blowing. Is it possible that its also feeding the temp and fuel guages. and maby a bad printed curcuit is blowing the fuse. Thanks.

I unplugged the connection going into the printed curcuit. I checked each terminal with a volt meter and all had voltage except for # 11 which is the terminal for the fuel guage. The temp guage did not move from its pegged position. Iam stumped as to why there is no voltage at # 11 and Iam thinking that my temp guage my be no good. Whats your opinions.
