[QUOTE="jpjeep26uk, post: 436833, member: 20690"] Hi and welcome. I bought a 1988 YJ in July and started digging in about a month ago due to a backfire from nowhere starting up. Great forum with really helpful folks all over the place. Anyway I too had a bouncing gauge and I toom the dash off, took the gauge cluster out, took the gauges off, took the flimsy PCB off and cleaned it up with soft wire wool and all the connectors with a gentle wire toothbrush. Then cleaned up the back of each gauge the same. Got everything shining. Then fitted a new fuel gauge and temp gauge and put it all together again. Then took the earth of the firewall and took that to base metal as well as the wire, then screwed it back on. No bounce! Solved it. Even at low fuel, no bounce. Hope that helps and even if its something else you've learned how to dismantle and clean up your binnacle and gauges! Good luck.
