Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Gas Gauge & Inst. Light Problem Finally Cured!!!!!!!



Thanks Doc. It was nice putting a voice to all the typing.  Now I guess I have to pull the gauge panel out and see if that's the problem with mine. I think I'll wait for it to quit raining. (5 weekends in a row)

Tomorrow will be 3 years and around 15,000$ later I will have my orange
Hornet. The undamaged original spare orange door is not on the car
yet.The regulator in the original door is repaired. The replacement door
needs the inside panels painted black as it has the same puke tan paint
on it before it can be replaced with the slightly damaged door on the
car. The inst. panel is back in the car. The new "Standard" brand
headlight switch which a member of Bart's group told me was still
available new (18$ ) seems to have fixed the dimming problem on the
factory inst. lights. I feel sure if I put in a dome light bulb I am
sure my dome light problem would be cured also. Also my gas gauge
problem is cured. I seems one of the 2 nuts that hold the gas gauge to
the printed circuit of the dash panel was more than hand loose. This
seems to have caused a partial contact at times when the gauge worked
but was not
accurate and also why it didn't work at all at times. I still replaced
gauge with one out of a Gremlin I got with a bunch of parts I bought
from Davis at Bart's group. The gauge now seems to work but I will have
to check it's accuracy. Being the PIA that I am these last 2 items were
last on the long list of nit picking repairs that have annoyed me about
this car since I bought it. Now all the factory options and systems work
like when the car was new. I was 60 years old on the 15'th of this month
so I conceder this a late birthday present. Since I rarely drive at
night the dome light and inst lights were no real problem, but not
working properly was a thorn in my side. the gas gauge annoyed me every
time I looked at he inst. panel and had to calculate how much gas I had.
The cigarette lighter even works. I am a happy man. Brad it was a
pleasure to speak to you on the phone this morning.
"Doc"
