Default My guages are messed up

Hey guys, new to the forums here, basically came to view others posts and check out others stangs, yet i figure you guys might be able to help me out with this little problem. My speedometer works fine, as well as gas guage, but all of the other guages dont work, as well as the dash lights. Anyone have any ideas to help me out?

Thanks,
Matt

For your dash lights, have you checked your fuses to see if one of them is blown? Happened to me in my '90 lx. I don't remember which one it is but check the fuse box and you can tell if one is bad...

Little 5 amp fuse. Check instrument dimmer switch function. Gauges, oil and temperature. Disconnect wire from sensor ground wire. Turn ignition switch on. gauges start moving to max, do not let gauge peg. Gauges go up replace sending unit. Do not move check continuity of wire, if ok...replace gauge.
