    I have always wondered why the gas gauge would not work, and the blinkers, and most of the other lights. I pulled the instrument panel tonight and found out why. The circtui board is cracked in several spots. Does anyonw have any suggestions?

    I had alot of damage on mine. I used solder and crazy glue to fix it. If you have pictures PM me and I'll give you my email. I may be able to fix it for you.

    Well, the main problem is the protection layer of the plastic has separated by the fuel gauge regulator. In addition some of the lamps will not stay lit. I am going to try to get new bulbs. But also the two top screws holding the panel to the balck front cover are broken. Did not have much luck tonight. Not sure if I want to go ahead and put white faces on it now or just replace the gauges with AutoMeter Phantoms.
