Hmmm I took off both nuts and washers from the printed circuit to gauge terminals and the gauge popped back to cold. I put it back together, watching the needle as I slowly turned the nuts back on. Had the key on while doing it. Gauge started working perfectly but as I turned the nut a bit tighter, pegged hot. So I loosened the nut (barely snug) and it now works as it should. Although something is not right, it works. Would be hard to believe the nut would have to be sloppy loose to work.
Should the lock washer and nut be right against the printed circuit like in photo?

Thanks for the help. Enough to drive a guy crazy
