not giving up yet...seems really odd two out of the 4 gauges work.

Nothing is easy.

Ok let me try and recap what I did:
Took the console face off and inspected the ground wire for good connection and seems like its hooked up correctly and secure, all good there.
Took the shifter plate off and looked at the ground wire  attached to the trans tunnel, took if off clean and scrapped the area for a possible better connection.
Nothing changed at all...pull the headlights out (car was off) and the temp gauge goes past H and the fuel gauge goes below E. I tried removing the ground wire attached to the tunnel and then try the head lights...no change same issue. Seems like whether the tunnel ground wire is attached or not it doesnt seem to affect the gauges.   

Again absolutely no expert here...what the heck am I missing?

Headed out for the evening so I may not get a chance to reply back tonight to any suggestions which are appreciated.

absolutely...hopefully I can jump on this Sat or Sunday. Fingers crossed.

Richard, thanks this will help for sure. Appreciate the feedback.

Thanks Rick...the one ground wire is attached to the console  tunnel..is there suppose to be more than one?

thanks...I will look at the AIM to see.

Hopefully its something simple.

i took the console gauge cover off to inspect and I did notice one black ground wire connected. Should there be two or more? If i remember correctly its connected to the top of the metal housing. Thanks for replying!

Thanks Rocco...never thought of that. Hate these electrical gremlins. 

Need some advice, when i turn my headlights on my console gas and water temp gauges stop working. Just popped up or so I noticed today. Any suggestions? No mods of any kind that would have created the issue. Electrical stuff not my strong point! Gas gauge goes below E and the water temp way passed H.
