Subject:voltage Stabilizer/Regulator - Correct Part?
From:karen davis

I've been blowing voltage stabilizers (3 prong thingie under dash).  I've
gone through 4 and still  I haven't found the root of the problem.  My
gas/temp gauge are at zero.  With new stabilizer, gauges works for awhile
and then they go to zero and I have to put in new stabilizer to get gauges
to work again.

I've been paying $5-7 for these voltage stabilizers.  I see that my local
Radio Shack carries...they look the same as the ones that I've been getting
at car place.  Problem is that Radio Shack has 2 that look the same.  Once
says 7 and other says 14.2.  Can I use the radio shack stabilizers (they
call them regulators).    If so, which one do I get?  They only cost $1.49
or $1.99 which is a lot cheaper than what I've been paying.

Of couse, the ultimate is to be able to fix the problem so my guages work.
Thanks
