Turning on dash lights makes fuel gauge drop
I have an 86 Camaro Sports Coupe. The fuel gauge already bounces up and down, but when I turn on the dash lights, the fuel gauge drops to Empty. Has anyone else had this problem?

Re: Turning on dash lights makes fuel gauge drop
I had a similiar problem a couple rears back... When I turned the gauge lights on the gas gauge and the oil pressure gauge would drop to 0 and the speedo and odometer would freeze in place... Only thing that would work was the tac'... Have you removed your gauge cluster at all?? It could be a bad connection were the circuit board of the cluster meets the pins... The littlest offset can screw up the whole thing...
