GAS GUAGE, HELP!!! by joelhedrick

Hi,
I have a 1968 cougar, and I cannot get my brand new autometer gas guage to work. I have been told that I need a resistor, but I don't know what I need. Can anyone tell me the resistance reading on a 1968 cougar xr7 fuel guage? Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks! Joel

2000 Merc. Cougar Instrument Cluster by lmoreno3

The instrument cluster on my sons 2000 Cougar is acting strange. When he gets in and turns the key to start the car, the MPH and RPM gauge go all the way to the right and then come back down to 0. Also his clock will not stay on time. Is this due to a bad relay, if so which one? I have checked all of the fuses, none of them were blown. Is there a relay for the instrument cluster? Where? Any and all suggestions are welcome, to help me cure this problem.
 
Thank you,

I heard that it might be a bad ground, not making good contact. Does anyone know where I can get a diagram of the back of the cluster that shows where the grounds might be, or should I just remove the cluster and reinstall it?

Never did find out what was wrong, had the cluster replaced, with one from the local car yard, but it did not fix the problem, am still working on this issue. Any help will be appreciated.
