Need a Spot
I have only had my YJ for about 4 weeks now and this is my first Jeep. I have been reading with much interest the threads about guage problems. So far I've replaced the Battery, starter and partially rebuilt the carb. At least now it runs. I'm in the process of replacing the ignition key switch, since the PO broke the key off inside.

Here's my problem. the Jeep runs ok (even though the idle is REAL HIGH), but the only guages that work are the clock and the speedometer, I assume because they're mechanical. I haven't yet checked the fuse (#9, 15 amp) for the guages to see if it's blown. I checked all the fuses a few weeks ago (before I got it running) and they were all good, but not since then. If it's not the fuse, what else should I be looking at?

Thanks again for all your assistance!
