1990 740GL Wagon--spedo, odo, fuel gauge not working

Post by Nirky »

Picked up a 1990 740GL Wagon, which am very pleased about. However, it has a couple of minor issues with the instrument panel: the speedometer, odometer, and fuel gauges don't register one bit. The tach and temp gauge work properly.

Any ideas where I should begin my investigation?

Thanks again for all the help.

It turned out to be a connector behind the dash which had come loose. Plugged in, gauges work and battery now charges.

For those who get the same level of response as I have here, I have found several Volvo forums which are much busier, thus more helpful. Google is your friend. Later.
