Hi everyone, I need a 70-72 printed circuit board for the idiot light version of the gas gauge. I have one but a few of the pins are not well secured any longer. Thanks!

Matt

 

Just an FYI - the 70-72 Buick Skylark gauges use the same circuit boards as the Cutlass gauges. Just another source for your search - try the V8Buick board as well if no luck here.

Pins worked well on assembly line ( unless th brittle little bastards snapped off there too )..got 1 u can hav for shiping from 48911.. Lansing Michigan
Plz call or txt 989 721 9432

 

Looks like my last pin on the right side behind the "F" for full is missing. Any chance anybody still has the fix on this? Thanks in advance

 

The Ace Hardware near me has parts drawers that are full of small and odd sized hardware. I was able to fix mine by finding a SMALL bolt the same diameter as the pin, and screwing it in the backside of the board, everything works as it should.

 

Your options are many.....do you want to repair it yourself...???
would you want it repaired / swapped if ina rush . for an upgraded c/b with improved pin mount
Or possibly hav a c/b with all pins intact..

I would like to repair it myself. I was was wondering about doing what Dave26 said he did but didn't want to botch it up. I'm pretty good at ruining delicate parts.

 

I'm going to try what Dave did and then I'll probably be calling Rocketscientis tomorrow. Thanks guys, Ed Becker

 

Screwing in a tiny machine screw and a dab of solder made the gauge light up when I plugged it in. No fuel level though. I'll have to figure that one out but thanks to Dave for passing along a successfull tip.

 

Outstandin plan.....i hav murderd things occasionaly...good part is that if someting heads south on ya.....th part is just as Insufficient as before you adjusted it
got half dozen or so of them c/bs
Hav sacrificed that many again to repair others
My big weller melted th copper print at pin location
A sping washer would maintain decent contact & dielctric grease woud keep corosion at bay
If u do solder
I found it works best 4 me to apply Smalest dab of solder to contact locations of pin & copper print...that reduces heat induced to board As only has to b hot enough to melt solder
Be patient...take your time should b fine
Be certain to test it...those install / remove little easier than th 66-7s...so thats up 2 u...best of luck n better than that o skill

FYI, the gauge is grounded when screwed into the dash. It needs to be grounded for the fuel level to register. Just plugging it in doesn’t complete the ground.

 

I know this thread is dated a bit but does anybody still have a circuit board for the gauge of idiot lights on the left? I could use one as my fix didn't seem to last for long. Thanks

 

I have a complete idiot light pod I could sell. I may have a loose pc board also. Let me check condition.

 

I always have those..& repair them as well
66-67 instruments boards also
is yours stull good as a core ?
