Todd Osborn already did this. I don't know if he's on the list anymore. He
used a voltage regulator IC that sets the output voltage from a couple of
caps and a resistor I think. I thought the output for the gauges was 7
volts.

$HI all,
$
$The voltage regulator under the dash is the item in questions. From what I
$remember this regulates voltage for a few of the gauges (the ones no longer
working
$in my car) fuel, temp.
$
$The question is rather simple, I have not had a chance to look at the
output of a
$working one with a multimeter so see the output voltage (I am guess 5V) and
also
$measure the current output with the electrical system loaded (everything in
the car
$on to get a max draw).
$
$The goal is to make a solid state replacement. Has any one taken or know
off hand
$the voltage and current requirements for this regulator?
$
$Thanks
$Eric
