Help!!!! I'm Lost in the gauges

[rebel167us]

I am' at a loss at what to do.

On my truck, the Tach reads Waaaay below Zero when it idles, when under acceleration it'll go to Zero. The Fuel Gauge is starting to act up. I filled it up today and it read half a tank when I went down a steep hil, but went back to 1/4th when I leveled out. From what I can see, the Temp Gauge works fine.

Could I just need to replace the Tach,Fuel,Temp Gauge cluster and be done? or is there something more serious? I'm really weary with handling wiring because I don't know What the heck I'm doing.

About a week ago, the Tach/Fuel Gauge was working correctly.

On another note, my parking lights don't work, but when I pull the headlight switch all the way they work when the headlights are on. Did mention, I Hate Wiring...

Check for a bad ground to the cluster.

it may help to get a good manual with wiring diagrams in it. The light switch and th ecluster may be grounded at the same location, and have a bad ground at that point.
