So reading more about this fault, I'm looking at the gauges and they are ALL below reading, that is gas gauge needle is below E, Temp below C and Oil below L. I'm wondering if the limiter failed in the 12 Volt position and burned my gauges up. In fact every time I start the car the gauges see 12 volts. I have a series of questions now:
1. Is this scenario possibly that I described?
2. Is there a fuse I can take out for now to stop the 12 volts going to the limiter. if so which one they seem numbered.
3. If gauges are crooked, can the meters interior to the gauge be repaired without purchasing a brand new meter - that would be awful.
Awaiting responses
