I'll try to clean the contacts when I have them out next. But I don't know why temp
and
fuel both sway back and for the together it must be something that affects the two, I
don't
know if one faulty gauge affects the other.
In my previous post my understanding is there was an external volt reg for the gauges,
this would make sense why they both would be swaying (fault reg) but I don't think
there is
one . Theres probably a faulty connection somewhere but I can't find it.
