im new to the thread,did a search couldnt find anything on my problem. just bought an 81 cutlass,in good shape for its age and what i paid. the gauges dont work,speedo,gas,even the odometer. no lights for them either(do they even have instrument panel lights?) the thing that shows you what gear your in is off,like youll be in drive but it will show you as being in neutral. are these major problems or just things i can fix in my own garage?

 

Check your instrament panel fuse because there is instrament panel lights. Speedometer cable could be broke on the inside or just not attached right. I think your problems are all probably related to some blown fuses so start pullin
