ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT PANEL
I HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH MY SPEEDOMETER, HEAT, AND GAS GAUGES. THE SPEEDOMETER WILL SET AT 60MPH OR IT WILL NOT WORK AT ALL. THAN IT WILL START WORKING WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT. MY TEMP. GAGE WILL GO TO THE RED LINE OR IT WON'T MOVE AT ALL. MY GAS GAGE WILL SET ON EMPTY WHEN IT FULL OR IT WILL WORK WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME AND CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS WITH ON HOW FAST YOUR GOING OR NOT GOING, AND WITH THE OTHER GAUGES YOU DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE GAS OR DON'T, AND WITH THE HEAD GAUGES THAT CAN SCARE YOU. *TR
