What causes your car gauges to go crazy?
Erratic gauges, or gauges that seem to read uniformly low, are usually caused by a bad instrument voltage regulator. Typically, these malfunctions are caused by, a broken gear in the speedometer system, a speed sensor issue or a faulty engine control unit (ECU).
How do I know if my gages are working?
Another test is to jump a wire or a screwdriver across the sending pin to the ground pin on the back of the gauge. If there is no ground pin, use a longer wire and jump the sending pin to the engine block. When you do this, the gauge should go to its lowest reading. If it does, it is working properly.
