my speedometer and gas gauge are all out of whack since I turned off and on my lamp light indicator. (My dashboard light indicator said "lamp off" when my headlights were on and working.) I flicked the lights off and on thinking maybe that would shut the light indicator off since they were working just fine, but it was dark and that light was annoying staying on inside the car while I'm driving.
Right after that, my oil light came on, my speedometer registered 25 miles faster than what I was going and my gas gauge said I had 57 gallons of gas when my car only holds 20! (and I know it had only 7 gallons in there before it went crazy)
I put in oil, now there's too much. Can too much oil and turning off and on headlights make the gauges malfunction?
Can anyone tell me where the wire may be to check if it's just a loose wire?
I have a 1988 Mercury Ford Cougar.
Thank you for your time and help if you can help with an answer. :)
