Is there anyway to correct dash gauges? My volt gauge is WAYY out of wack. Ill be at 14 volts and its reading 11. Is there anyway to fix this or an I stuck with it that way?

Voltage at the battery is about 13.8-14.0 volts. But at the same time my gauge is ready about 11.

try to measure at the guage source?

 

there is the possibility of the wiring being shot, or a loose connection somewhere, or maybe the actual guage has gone to hell, all are very likely.

 

did it slowly come to this or one day, BAM, now its 11?

I'd say swap the gauge first, as that's the easiest thing to do. If that fails to help, look at the wiring.

Check out this video from my favorite youtube channel :willynilly:

He got a 94 regal that had a bad alternator and after he change it the dash read ~11 volts and the battery had ~14 volts. He tightened the B+ battery terminal and the gauge went up to ~14 volts. Don't know if its the same problem but its a easy thing to check at least. Oh and the videos are hilarious and a bit adicting.
