Subject:Re: voltage stabilizer/gauges not working

<I checked my stabilizer with the key to the run position and  I had
volts in the pin closest to the passenger side but nothing on the
drivers side.  The center pin also had nothing but didn't even appear to
be connected to anything.  I suspect this component is bad?  Any
suggestions on the most affordable replacement?>

I've had problems with my fuel/temp gauges as well, and suspecting the voltage
stabilizer I ordered one from a vendor. It turned out to be an ill fitting POC,
and made no difference, so I stuck the original back in. I then found some used
ones, tried those and got the same results. Figuring they can't all be bad, I
started looking around the back of the instrument cluster and found that the
resistor R4 (page 90.4 of Bentley) is rusted and covered with greenish
corrosion- I think I've found the problem.     Jeff
