| 1632.10 | Same EXACT Problem on 91 Ranger | BSS::G_MCINTOSH | Touch Not the Cat, Bot the Glove | Fri Feb 07 1997 14:13 | 15 |

Henry, I have this EXACT problem on my 91 Ranger. The amp needle works
about 30% of the time, the rest of the times it's pegged below 8.
I haven't tried the hit to the dash, but I may. I suspect it's either
the needle guage itself, or, I was told there's a circuit board behind
it and it could be that. I'm waiting for the weather to warm and then
was going to take off the instrument panel, etc. and reseat the
connections and see if that helps.
If you have more information let me know.
Thanks......Glenn

The smack on top of the dash did, indeed, work for me too. Still
working this problem.
If it is the guage itself, the combination Voltage Guage/Temp Guage
costs $82.12 here in Colo Spgs and is a "special order" item. FYI.

| 1632.13 | Replace the guage... | SSDEVO::TOWNE | | Wed Feb 12 1997 08:44 | 15 |
| It turns out that the dealership element of Pikes Peak Acura will not
honor the work that they did on the guage. Let me rephrase that;
their previous work revolved around repair whereas this case requires
that the guage be replaced.
They said that the repair/replacement cost to me would be about $185.
I think i'll continue to hit the dash for a while.
I have the Chilton and Haynes manuals; sounds like study-time. I'm
sure the dash comes off.
Voltmeter; it's only a convienence.....
thanx for (all of) your help
Henry
