Pretty much a replacement issue if it's in fact the voltmeter. Wiring good going to it? Test with a VOM to be sure.

mine was dead when I bought it, replaced with nos unit from saturn and now has pretty colors and numbers for the range. old one just had numbers. also be sure your gauge and gauge panel is properly grounded as a bad ground will cause a inop condition.

Mine died too!!
started to go by the needle sticking on when off, then tapping it would "fix" the guage. Now it's just dead.

Yes it worked just fine for 2 years,then zero.So is this a CUCV specific gauge,ie not available from a dealer.I was told its 28 volt.All the parts vehicles I have access to have already had theirs removed!apparently this is common.anyone know where one could be sourced cheap?

several of the members on the forum have had extras in the past, I think that saturn surplus might have them too. Also, they comeup on ebay from time to time.

There is a fuse in the fuse panel that might be blown. It might be causing your problem.
