Subject:      Dash temp gauge stopped working
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1

Hey all,
My new-to-me '86 wolfy weekender is great in many ways, but electrical does not seem to be one of them.

The PO told me that the coolant temp gauge would stop working when the headlights were on.
Now after a week or so, it has ceased working at all.

The coolant level warning LED in the gauge does seem to work properly (it blinks, then goes out when I start it up).

Does it seem like it's more likely a ground issue?  or is it perhaps the gauge failing?

I am having some other electrical/turn signal/lighting weirdness as well, and am trying to figure out if its related.   I got in there and cleaned a bunch of connections yesterday, but nothing changed.

thanks for any leads
:)~
