What circuit powers gauges?

Post by F100 Dad »

Does anyone know off-hand if the fuel, oil, and temp gauges are powered off the "INSTR PNL 2A" circuit or is that just for the instrument panel lamps?

My gauges were cutting in and out this weekend and now they are staying off thanks to our smooth Michigan roads. I've checked the main harness to gauge pod connector and it is tight so my next thought is to start tracing power in hopes of finding a short or open.
