The fuel gauge temp and tachometer do not work on my 82 Datsun 280zx any ideas?

Here are a few possible causes and things to check:

- Fuse: Check the fuses related to the fuel gauge, temperature gauge, and tachometer. If any of these fuses are blown, replace them.

-Wiring: Inspect the wiring for any loose connections, corrosion, or damage. Ensure the wires are properly connected to the respective sensors and gauges.

- Gauge cluster: The gauge cluster itself could be malfunctioning. Try swapping the entire gauge cluster with a known-good one to see if that resolves the issue.

- Sensors: Verify if the affected sensors (i.e., fuel level sensor, coolant temperature sensor, and tachometer sender) are functioning properly. Testing or replacing the sensors may be necessary.

-Grounding: Check the grounding points or straps associated with the gauges and sensors. Improper grounding can cause various electrical issues.
