It been months since my gauges worked. One day, they both quit. Everyone I've asked said its probably the VR. I looked up the part and browsed the manual and the back of my cluster doesn't have anything that resembles a VR. The gauge itself has the bi-metal switch which look to fed by a contact point. Is this an integrated "manual" VR?
So, this is supposed to be a 8V regulated system right? Can I replace this contact point with a 12V to 8V IC VR?

Thanks in advance.
