Ford Mustang: cluster

    cluster

    For those that have four eyes I have a problem with my cluster. Sometimes
    my fuel, water and oil gauge all mark 3/4. After a while it goes back to
    normal. Sometimes it's just the fuel gauge. It makes small sweeps back and
    forth. What controls this ? Also my fuel light sometimes stays on even
    with half a tank and other times it won't come on even if I run her low on
    fuel. Is my car possessed ?

    I know that ALL good "'Stangers" know right away the model... but I had to
    think about it even though I've owned 5 of those models. "86" is a lot
    easier to identify with.
     

    No... you have a bad ground from the cluster harness to the frame under the
    dash. Thus you are seeing "averaging".

    Look to the area on the right with the cluster out, IIRC. But while you're
    at it, clean and tighten up every one you can find... between driver kick
    panel etc.

    The "small sweeps" are the mechanical voltage regulator..works like a turn
    signal flasher.

    Easiest is to replace the IVR - Service Part Number D1AZ-10804-A
    (GR-513).
    Least expensive is to convert the existing IVR to solid-state.

    The IVR is located on the backside of the instrument cluster, between
    the oil pressure and fuel level gauges.
