Spent a little more time trying to get the headlight to work, but needed to drive the car so I put the light back in. Jorge the Gremlin is somewhere still running around.
Yesterday, the whole gauge panel just went "OFF" no amps, fuel, or oil pressure, all just went dead.
Then,the next time I started the car, the gauges worked for maybe 10 seconds, and then died again.
Looking at the diagram, it looked like fuse 12 controlled the gauges, I felt the fuse and it felt loose, so I popped it off and bent the tab so the fuse sat in there with more tension.
I didn't restart the car, but I Did switch the key to the "on" position, and the gauges came back to life!
Now, if they stay on for more than 10 seconds I'll be in business!
Jorge the gremlin's days are numbered.
