Took a trip downtown to get some Brad Penn. Then to a favorite brewery, Honky Tonk Brewery. On the way home I hear the stereo stop, then start again. I then see almost nothing on the dash works. No RPM, speedo is working but too high. no oil temp or fuel, no a/f, no oil pressure, no blinkers, you name it. The G light is on cht gauge too tho. Hazzards and dash illumination work. Head lights work, fog lights work. All the rear lights work at once. No brakes, just tail, etc…
Guess i have a weekend project. Thoughts? |

QUOTE(tygaboy @ Jul 6 2017, 08:06 PM)  Stock speedo? That'd be cable driven so... Yep. Weird but i had my cell phone mph app running. The dash is usually 5 to 8 behind, depending on speed. Tonight the dash was 8 ahead. Car ran perfectly. Zoomed all the was home as expected. Just checked the batt. 12.7v with everything off. 13.9v + idling. G light is working kinda backwards. Usually it starts and stays red til i rev. Now it is off till i rev then on. |
