when they peg full , it means there is a wiring issue. most likely, it is a ground issue. which is located under the drivers side rear seat. it is common for the ground wire to get dirty/rusty. so that is the first thing I would check. I had the same thing happen to me on my 86 Z. and that was it. good luck, and post what you find out.
