Pulled the dash on my 67 4 speed car today in an attempt to figure out why the dash wont light up, and if the fuel gauge is bad, I replaced the sender 2 years ago so I am thinking it was (the dash is so much more easier then a 68 Charger to work on btw)
I grounded out the gauge..its works, the board looks good and all the pins are there as well
what should i be looking for?
Any reaction from the gauge when you ground sender wire?
I put power directly to the gauge and it swung 2 to full
Never tried that before, and no mushroom cloud over the garage ?
Guess you lost me with that one but with all hooked up and sender wire grounded it should go full if wire is connected, for a starter test.
oops sorry I meant I took the dash out of the car to check all the lightsand I put powerdirectly to the gaugeI might need to do it the way you suggest

Been there and done this.
The board is bad! On many levels. Buy this from classic industries and problem solved!
The voltage limiter on your old board is shot, No gauges..The new board has it built in!
The lights run off the board too. Probably a open trace.
Sweet..headed there now to check it out!
Nothing . That's the heat sink for the solid state voltage limiter. Modern version of the old elec / mech version.
Expect rock steady gauges!
thank you so much for the tip brother!
