    gauges going crazy

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    soo, it started about 3 months ago to where my gas gauge doesn't read properly. When the tank is full, it seems to be accurate until about 1/2 tank. Then it will start going up or down and settle at a point. The point it settles at will vary. If i turn the car off and back on, it will read something different. It has gone to the extent to where I've ran out of gas when it says I have a 1/4 tank, and it will say its empty when I know I have like 4 gallons left. Well recently, all the gauges have started acting weird. When i turn the vehicle on, my tach needle will vibrate at 0 back and forth rapidly for 10 seconds then it will jump to the normal 800. all the other gauges remain at 0, and after ten seconds they go to their respective spots. besides the gas gauge, they all seem to function fine after this ten seconds.

    so, does anyone have any ideas? Is my cluster bad, or just a delayed relay?

    Holy Crap!! This is the exact same problem with mine. Although the fuel sender fixed my fuel gauge, but my tach does the exact same thing!!
