Gauge problems
For some reason, when I turn on my lights, my gauge lights only work when the drivers door is open, and as soon as a close it, they shut off. Also, my Fuel gauge goes up when I put gas in my car, but after driving for 5 minutes its back down to empty. PLEASE HELP!!

Re: Gauge problems
Any possibility's? Also, not only do the gauge lights turn off when i shut the door, but the floor light turns on by the clutch?

Re: Gauge problems
It sounds like you got some exposed wires crossing under the dash, the best thing to do is drop the fuse box and examine closely to see if there is anything exposed and touching, and this way you can fix it.
