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



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.
