Default Gauges 300d

Fellas, I have a 300d with gauges that are acting crazy the temp gauge went all the way to 120 and I got out the car thinking it was going to blow when I took the radiator cap off nothing no steam no pressure nothing.. I then drove by my local mechanic and he stated my gauge is blown. My next question begin is , are their any fuses I should check and if so what are the fuses numbers so I can cut right to the chase.. also what type of remedies do you guys have for this type of situation and have you seen this happen before.

Thanks in advance.

What year is your 300D ?

It was made from '75 to '93 so there are a few differences.

Have you tried swapping bulbs ?


Also, take a close look at the bulb socket(s) for any type of corrosion.
