It does it sometimes,and not then other times,now my tach is stuck at 7500 rpm,any idea what could be causing this,when my tach and battery guage die the right turn indicator in my gauge pod lights up and will not go off unless I turn off my lights,its annoying at night,any idea what this could be????

Make sure the gruond to the lights are clean & tight.... it can do some very odd things if not (including making your car idle bad/odd when the lights are on)

The grounds come thru the hole in the rad. support & grond to the upper part of it.

A bad drivers side light ground plagued me (gauges, turn signals & running) for the longest time till I hunted it down with a DMM (multi-meter)

Of course...you may have a worse problem that just a bad ground....
