Thanks.. Now I know what to inspect. The same problem with my 90 Akod after I change all the bulb inside this problem accur. Thanks again for tis explanation.
Use a plastic fork, rest it on a roller rag and pop of the needle. Remove the front black screws to disconnect the gauge from the IP face. Untangle the enamel covered wire and cut to length. Using a razor/exacto knife, scrape the enamel off and pre-tin and shape it fit connector. Cut the long screw by 3-4 threads unless one is shorter. Use a spring from an ink pen to make connection to the printed circuit. These gauges are attached using an air powered screw driver when new. One screw is marked with yellow paint and shorter.

Bro, thank you, finally a video that LITERALLY shows where the grounds are breaking. Great video, very informative, i pulled it apart and clearly see 2 screws that were spinning indeed broke the ground. Ill see if i can re attach and call it good. Did you fix your wires?
Im glad it was informative to someone which means i didn't waste my time to make the video... i did fix it but then my brother-in-law send me a SI cluster.
@@ElvinBryant nice, ill be picking up some angel hair wire tonight and see if i can solder it or wire it another way. Before ordering a new instrument piece
My temperature gauge go all the way to hot whats the problem with that and how can I fix it?? If you don't mind helping me out I been searching and yout video is the only one I see that makes sense...
You are exactly right. In my instance someone must have used a 1/2" drive gun to drive in the screws. One on the temp gauge and one on the fuel gauge were spinning resulting in both gauges pegging out high anytime the key is on. Mine's an SI so I chose to repair it vs throwing a junk yard used gauge in. Careful soldering and it's fixed.
hope you can advise me of what to do with mine, when i turn on my headlights there is a spike of about 1/8 on the temp gauge, what could it bw causing it?i added main ground directly to the block, cleaned the contacts on the headlight swiitch but still the same issue
God bless you. Brother
You saved me
I'm glad that I could help someone that might needed it just as when I was desperate to know what's wrong, God bless 😊 your welcome
Thank you. Saw this and went and ulled my gauge out and 1 of the wire was broke, I soldered it and now gauge works fine. Thank you!!
So glad that you got it fixed

Hi dude, great and informative video, so, if the needle moved with the screwdriver, it means the whole temp gauge assembly is good?
Thank you very much. but the screwdriver was just something I was messing with it dosn't mean it's good or bad.
@@ElvinBryant how can I see if it's good or bad? I don't wanna disassembly my whole dash bezel for nothing

Wow I dont know why people tighten things like the so hard... but I'm so glad you are able to fix it great job.
Fortunately there was enough of a pigtail coming off the coils to solder to.
My fuel gauge just go to minimum with magnet and temp gauge goes all way up, good or not? I just tried to fix the wires
