Not sure if this is a good answer or not. But the voltage regulator is
really a vibrator arrangement that works because of temprature. Current
goes thorugh a arm made of dis-similar metals, as the heat they bend at
different rates open the contact.... (sounds a lot like a turn signal
blinker don't it) It's possible that you don't have enough current flow
to heat up the metal and cause it to open.
On the other hand this could all be hot air(type??)
Do they start to work after the drivers compartment gets hot? could be a
bad/broken trace on the instrument cluster printed wiring board.
For a real good Izuzu storey I go to our Sun Systems Admin Lady. She
can't run her Air Con during the summer because the battery overheats and
boils over. Three alternator and battery sets later (from the dealer) it
still don't work.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Love these LBC's

Subject: mysterious electrical problem
This question actually applies to my 1989 Isuzu Trooper but a) it's an
interesting electrical glitch that would be worthy of a British car and b)
it's not about roller rockers.
So ... when the temperature is cold outside, both my fuel and temp gauges
stop working (which would indicate they have a common electrical feed.)
Power on both sides of the fuse is OK.
When the truck has warmed up after 10 minutes of driving, both gauges
start
to work. This would appear to be a temperature-related connection problem,
but any ideas on where to start tracking it? As everybody knows, taking
apart the dash in modern cars is a pain in the butt.
Thanks.
Graham
