So I've been thinking about and I'm thinking it was the cooling fans freewheeling and acting like generators. I know others have had this happen but don't remember what they did to negate the effect. I've been mulling over installing diodes to stop the backfeed..

So anyone remember this saga and what was done ??? TIA
Well, Mike, we all know I'm not a wiring guru (surprise!) so I have no idea why your gauges went all flukey but freewheeling fans acting like generators probably would have never come to my mind. Just curious how the fans are controlled? Was your "flukiness" confined to the gauges or did it also affect how the car was running at the time?
