1988 Dash Gauge Issues
Ok… my F350 has a few dash gauges inoperative.
The tach works fine… fuel gauge is pegged as is the oil pressure, water temp and water temp gauge.
Everything was working fine when the truck was parked in ‘19.
I’m guessing corrosion may be the culprit as I had to clean and/or replace a few relays when I refired the truck after its latest nap.
Ideas?

I would hit the junkyard for another IVR and then pull your instrument cluster out and examine yours
Verify if you have an IVR or not
That way when you see it you can swap it and see if it makes any difference to your gauges
That IVR only controlled the fuel and temp gauges on some models as the oil gauges and senders differed w/ a gauge or a idiot light
