I am having problems with the temperature and fuel gauge, giving incorrect readings - both are reading at the lower end of the gauge. Have checked the gauges manually, check earths etc etc. My next stop is checking the ballast resistor - Can anyone tell me where i can find it! It's driving me up the wall... Any input would be greatly appreciated cheers Leigh

This missing throws out resistive style guages. The ballast resistor doesn't exist in a WB, and wouldn't affect your dash anyway. _______________________________________________________ If we all had

The -ve strap may be bad, or it's connection may be bad. Note that it's not an earth
