Description & Operation: Gauges

All models have a cluster which includes a speedometer, temperature gauge and fuel gauge. The fuel gauge may also have a low fuel warning light. Some models are equipped with a tachometer, oil pressure gauge and voltmeter. A low brake fluid warning light is used on most models.

Gauges may be either the bimetal type or coil type. Testing procedures for the two types vary slightly. All sending units for gauges are variable resistance type.
