My seats and console are out as I put in new carpets about a month ago.

When I had the instrument panel out on this car....

I extended the wires that feed into the gauges.

With the bulkhead pulled in, check the thick black wire and the thick red wire for heat damage. I found my black wire with melted insulation touching another wire about 4" into the harness. The connectors to these hot wires get old and loose/corroded and create high resistance.

Mine looked good when I cleaned the firewall bulkhead connectors earlier this summer.

That said, to prevent future issues, I'll be jumpering the 2 ammeter posts before reinstalling the instrument panel.
