Kevinford5000 said: (quoted from post at 01:24:23 03/23/15) Have a '72 Ford 5000 Diesel. Working on the cluster wiring because fuel and temp gauges don't work. I have a 5 year old cluster on it and I never got the gauges to work correctly. I am trying to figure out the correct wiring locations for each connector on the back of the cluster. I think I have it sorted out but the gauges respond erratically. I don't have voltage stabilizer on the cluster. I see that there is listed a part for a Voltage stabilizer for a ford 5000. Where does it attach? Is it needed? Are the fuel and temp guages supposed to work off of 12volts or 5volts or what. I.T. shop manuals are of no help. -Kevin
I will be surprised if you have not let the smoke out of your gauges running it with out a voltage stabilizer... Those gauges are delicate and will not live long shorted to ground... All Ford cars trucks 60's, 70's, 80's used one and those will work on a tractor. You can buy them aftermarket but I have yest seen a aftermarket work as good as a OEM... The base of the stabilizer must be grounded... Its more-so a switch on/off that stabilizes the gauge its not a Regulator that cuts the voltage back...
