A LONG time ago, for reasons I cannot remember, I tore apart the capacitor that ran between a couple of the gauges. It''s red on the outside and I was never able to find any values on it. Anyway, now that it''s ruined I need to know what value capacitor to replace it with. Any ideas? Thank you in advance!

Err, I don''t remember. I''ll see if I can remember to look next time I''m at the shop. It may just go from a gauge to that block that a bunch of things are tied to. I looked at a diagram of the gauges in a PDF for the wiring and I don''t see anything in the diagram that could be it.

Okay, on my gauges, the capacitor runs from the charge/voltage gauge to, best I can tell from this PDF, the Interface Unit. It''s a little box with lots of blade connectors on it.

if your not able to find out here on the forums
i"d recomend taking the instrument pack to a reputable speedometer repair shop thats been around for awhile
i work at a jag dealership and we do sometimes send them out for repair
fair price and this is what they specialize in
just my 0.2 cents
