Re: [AMC-list] fuelgage-tempgage stopped woking

[Matt Haas <mhaas@xxxxxxx>]

When both stop working at the same time, that's usually a sign that 
voltage regulator is shot. The factory fix is to replace the fuel gauge 
but those can be hard to find. You may be able to replace the mechanical 
voltage regulator with a solid state version but I'm not aware of anyone 
who has done this to this type of regulator. Tom Jennings has a page at 
http://wps.com//AMC/dashreg/index.html that describes what he did for a 
car that has it as part of the circuit board.

Another alternative is to check with places that repair gauges and see 
if they can fix yours. AMC used Stewart Warner gauges so hopefully, the 
guts aren't all that much of an oddball.

> Hello: The gas and temp gage on my rambler scrambler recently stopped working. Tests show no problem with the circuit board, fusel panel and the gages. The voltage regulator is part of the fuel gage sending unit and also controls the temp gage. Any idea if some  other  component could cause the problem?  All the grounds tested good.
