Another great video inspector - I've been dealing with this suspect for quite some time! It seems like you have another gauge breaking the law here too - your tachometer seems to be reading low. I have a similar issue sometimes, and I used to have a low idle. Seems like both of our cars are Regina cars too. I hope you can catch this one too and save me the trouble! For reference, I also had a low idle issue which I couldn't fix until I replaced the fuel ecu on the right side of the car - it was driving me crazy
Thanks. I gave up on the tachometer. Temp gauge is critical. By the way, to prevent overheating I added a low coolant warning lamp to the dash. There is another video on my channel about the installation.
@@robertdeptula2003I did see that video too, very helpful - it's on my long list of future upgrades. In regards to the tachometer, someone recommended that it could be either a capacitor in the tachometer slowly going bad, or a bad connection at the ignition coil, with the red and white wires. I haven't had the time to investigate this further though unfortunately. I may attempt to swap over another tachometer and see if the issue stops, but it will be hard to tell since it only happens every now and then for me.
Robert I might need your help on this one. I too was wondering why my temperature gauge wasn’t working and in the process of trying to figure it out I lost power to all my gauges check fuses, but none of them seem to be out. I learned a lot just watching this one single video, but was wondering is there a hidden fuse or relay or something in between that would cause no power to any of the cluster gauges. If you could make a video or help me out, I’ll be more than thankful I have liked and subscribed.
You will need an electrical diagram to trace the problem. I don't have one for this year and model. Do you have voltage at the connector which plugs into the instrument cluster?

Thanks for the info, I will look into it. Maybe future video...

What is the year and model of your car?
@ I have a 1990 Volvo 740 wagon
