Mayf,
Pretty sure the power to the gauges and dash lights come from the  voltage=
=20
stabilizer.  It's a little squarish, metal device about 2"x2" and  is=20
screwed to the support column that goes from the dash to the firewall (jus=
t  to=20
the right of the steering column). If you pull the wires off  be sure to=
 =20
label where each goes because the color coding of the wires will probably=
 be =20
faded. Not sure of a source for the stabilizer if that's the  problem.
