    Question vn calais fuel gauge/temp gauge cluster voltage board

    hii all i have heard about the fuel gau and temp gauges failing/sticking and or not reading right or moving very slowly its a common prob

    alot of people have reslodered a voltage regulator board in the middle back of the cluster behind the tacho and speedo and it has worked.

    my fuel gauge died couple of days ago and then it woke up again and gave me F!@# all reading when i know i have plenty more fuel in the tank then it dies again.

    i wanted to know what do you solder on the voltage regulator board (which pins)
    has anione gots ani pics of one that could show please

    my fuel and temp gauges have been very slow and sticky for 1 year and bit now but i am really sick and tired of it i just want them to work properly as they should
    i dont wana end up on side of the highway outa fuel cos the f!@#$%^ gauge keeps reading wrong.

    can ani out there please help out a holden owner like ya selfs
    much much apreciated

    if you click on the "solution to sticky gauges" thread its all there. i flowed extra solder on every point on the voltage reg board and that seemed to do the trick...but if your still having trouble pm 88greenvn...

    Could be the cluster itself might be dodgy, do you have another cluster you can put in there to test to make sure your tank sender and temp sensor are ok??? If you get real stuck and cant work it out I might be able to help you
