Oh yes the instrument cluster nightmare, that was last years task. I tracked that one down, regulator attached to the back of panel lost ground. Oil, temp, fuel gauges quit. Good now tho,thanks, and for the lube tip. Still working on this...
In 1975 Mopar called it the Voltage Limiter. We also have the Presence Lamp Relay and 20-amp Circuit Breaker, which was part of the Trailer Towing Package. The Circuit Breaker is connected to the Black side of the Ammeter and the Presence Lamp Relay is attached to the top of the Circuit Board, just next to the High Beam Indicator.
One of the first things I had to do, when I bought the motorhome, was replace the Circuit Board. The original had loose pins, where the wiring harness attaches, so I found a NOS Circuit Board. The other day, I pulled the Instrument Cluster, to finish cleaning the dust and dirt under the dash and saw that the copper on the Circuit Board was tarnished, so I took it out and used BarKeeper's Friend to clean it. I forgot to take an "After" pic, but here's the "Before".
What I find interesting is that Dodge used the Mopar 10,000-day calendar on some parts and the Julian calendar on others. You can see on the Instrument Cluster that it was built on "1605", or Tuesday, April 16th, 1975.
