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.
