Gauge Troubles

I have a 1992 Camaro with 350 engine. In the last couple of days the oil pressure gauge has started pegging out at the high end. Today the temperature gauge is swinging from side to side. Fan is running, thermostat is opening and system is full. The fuel gauge seems to be reading high. The tachometer is working OK. The voltage gauge is showing about 16 volts. Is there a common thread to cause all of these to be acting weird?

Re: Gauge Troubles

Re: Gauge Troubles

You can buy a rebuilt one on line, but they're pricey, $500, but some used also available at http://www.hawksthirdgenparts.com/se...rument+cluster.

Avoid those on Ebay.

No idea who'd repair one.
