Need Help ASAP with 85 C10 wiring problem's

[chevyracer8262]

I have an 85 Chevy c10 that i'm having some sever issues with. I had eveything working good until yesterday morning and then all of a sudden the fuel gauge pegged out way on the other side of full and all of a sudden the blinkers quit working does anyone have any ideas on what could be the causing these problems?

check the printed circuit board on the back of the guage cluster for breaks or burn marks.. also check your grounds. you could have have lost a ground somewhere. does your blinker light stay on when your turn signal in activated?

No they don't work at all. Everything worked fine untill I went to pulling fuses yesterday checking for blown fuses from other issues after that everything went crazy. I've tried different flasher fuses and still nothing.

if you have never taken the guage cluster at,then your problem might be at the fuse block .check all your fuses,wires etc. you might have wiggled something loose.

Well i checked all of the connections and wires as best I could last night there's power at the fuse panel and power at the steering column connectors so i don't know what could be causing this.

I had a simalar problem form my 78 C-10. And I had to pull all the connections apart and clean them. Both the front and rear of each plug ( head light switch, heater, wipers, and any other dash connection I found) and by doing this and using a jumper wire to see if I could get juice thru or around a switch they all came on. And to date still operate correctly.
