I have a 90' LX 5.0 5spd. This problem has been happening ever since I bought the car so NONE of my mods created this. My car has an aftermarkey Pioneer CD player which works well and I have upgraded to a 3G alternator and contour fans and my ground is 4ga as well.
Problem: when I turn on my headlights my gauges all read incorrectly (except speed of course) and my hazard lights light up on the dash. I've searched about this and everybody goes straight to grounds but nobody has reported a fix. Some think it's a bad voltage regulator that's in the dash itself. Most of my driving is when the sun is up but now the Fall is coming and my morning drive to work is getting darker every day. From time to time the instrument cluster will go back to reading normal while driving with my lights on and then go haywire again and back and forth.
Does anyone know if the problem really is the dash cluster or something else?
