If your fuel or temperature guage never get over halfway, it could be the voltage regulator at the back of it. Remove it with a screwdriver and, for an early Magna, get a 7808 8v 1a regulator at Jaycar. Improvise a heat sink and use thermal paste.   [guest]

If your clock doesn't work, it's better to renew the whole instrument panel from a wrecker as the individual units in the panel are usually too hard to replace.   [guest]

If your fuel guage still doesn't work after changing the instrument panel, it's probably the fuel level indicator in the tank that stopped working. It will need to be changed over, and does not require removing the tank itself. Don't bother going to a wreckers if the car is over 8 years old as all of the indicators are probably malfunctioning by then. Get a new one from the car's manufacturer or on eBay if you're lucky. Though the cost may be high, the reduction in stress from not knowing how much is in your tank will be worth it.   myxlfidian (150)
