Re: Fuel gauge, clock and lights not working

As long as your temp gauge DOES work, all of those are separate problems:

Headlights - probably a faulty headlight circuit breaker
Blinkers - need to replace the flasher (they are cheap)
Gas gauge - maybe a bad sender or bad tank ground but you should do some diagnostics. It varies based on the model, but usually you can ground the wire coming from the sender and the gauge will show full. Then you know it’s the sender or an electrical connection in that area.
Clock - ignore it, but if you REALLY want it to work I can help you out. But I suggest doing other things first.

Check out the Literature Archive. There’s the service manual for your car there. I HIGHLY recommend hitting the schematics section before doing any electrical work on your car.

And this is all assuming that wiring has not been F’d with in the past. Not a guarantee since previous mice and moron damage can cause untold problems even in an otherwise nice car.

Feel free to come back with any more questions
