Hey everyone, I have a probelm with my gauge lighting. When I turn the headlight knob to increase dashboard light, my temp gauge pegs to H and my fuel gauge pegs to E. Any ideas?

Sounds like the printed circuit behind the dash has a problem. I would pull it and disassemble the gauge cluster to see if cleaning everything fixes the problem. Not all dust and grime is electrically insulating (most of it is silicate based but not all).

Thanks, Dave. I'll give it a try.

Or the dash has a bad ground. While it is out clean all of them too.
