R129 Battery Went Dead-Gauges Won't Work Now
Hi ! About 1.5 months after the battery went dead, I installed a new one. Now, the gauges do not light-up nor turn on properly when key is set to "ON" position. Car will crank but not turn over. After turning key on/off several times and cranking, gauges will come on and car will start and run fine......gauges, however, do not default to "ON" position when it's time to restart car. Any suggestions? Thank you much! Spin
