Background: 1989 60 Series, 12V. Bought the vehicle more than 4 years ago then stripped it down for a rebuild almost immediately. Can't confidently remember which gauges worked, but think fuel was good, temperature was not reading, oil and voltage I guess were OK. Vehicle going back together but having electrics connected is a few months off.
Referring to 'Landcruiser Heavy Duty 1984-90' FSM (covering 60 and 70 Series diesel and petrol) the spec for the resistance of fuel level, water temperature and oil pressure gauges is recorded as 55Ω.
When I check my three gauges, they are all (separately) 25-26Ω. I can't really believe that all three of my gauges are not just defective, but have strangely lost about half of their resistance. Could it be that the quoted 55Ω is for a 24V system?
Thanks
