Instrument Panel Gauges

Ok, thanks!

[68rookie]

I just got the truck back doesn't look like any of the gauges work!

[fordman]

what so he didnt fix anything?

[68rookie]

Doesn't look that way. He said the only that didn't work was the temp gauge but I drove the thing home and the fuel gauge read 3/4 of a tank and I ran out of gas a block from home!

[fordman]

maybe he turned the ivpr the wrong way.

instrument panel voltage regulator?

[fordman]

yes

This is the reply I got from the kid who worked on my truck.

I wouldnt know where to start with the gauges though, because you have voltage to the gauges, and a good ground at the gauges. I checked out a book at the public library containing the trucks wiring diagram. According to the diagram, the wiring is correct. The sensors were replaced also, so I dont know what it could be.

Any ideas??
