Default Electric threesome....

Odd thing happened today ... 3 electrical faults, all at the same time....

No neutral indicator light
Fuel guage reads FULL all the time
Temp guage reads ... off the scale!!!

I know it's a bad connection somewhere, but any ideas where to look?

I'm not too bad with a multimeter ... just hoping that someone can save me some time

Cheers all

Regards,

shakey

No idea where to specifically start Shakey, but I would start by looking at earths. Particularly from the instrument panel.

Cheers, SB

That's a good thing (sort of). Now you know it's intermittent. With key on move some wires around until things change. You may be able to isolate the area and find the problem.
