these guages share a resistor. if the the resistor goes bad, in this case, stops resisting, the voltage increases and makes both guages shoot up. replace the guage assembly and your problems will be over. (you have to remove the combination meter and take it apart to fix this, its not particularly easy and you can cause more damage than its worth if youre not experienced with this type of repair)
Answeryou can just add a resistor from radioshack don't really matter what kind but just install in line with the guage ain't working but you need to have x-perience to thisOne reason why fuel and temperature gauges would stop working on a 1992 Toyota Corolla would be a short in the wires. This would lead to a blown fuse. Check the fuse and replace it.
because it's old, stupid
You need gauges and a refrigerant recovery system.
you don't! remove bezel for gauges, remove four screws for gauge assembly, pull forward and tilt, replace the four bulbs.
you have a shorting wire someplace
Is this an automatic or manual transmission?
Checked owners manual for any obvious fuses. Any recommendations why instrument panel and gauges would guit working?
have you checked the fuse? is the dimmer switch turned down? have they just quit working? Headlights/taillights work? Interior light? Need more info!! What have you checked so far?
