Default speedo and fuel gauges bouncing.

My dads 92' is having issues with the 2 gauges. First it was just the speedo. I figured it was the sensor,but now my brothers saying the fuel gauge is doing it too now. Im not sure yet on that part as i rarely drive it. Any ideas? its the old analog cluster.

Grounds? the signal sent to the analog cluster is still electronic, I would check grounds first?

I have a manual. WITH the actual electrical diagram, let me check it

*edit* damnit, electrical diagram is in the back seat of the jimmy and the girlfriend has it, I will look when she is home.


*second edit*
Found a diagram in my service manual too. The ground is located on the drivers side near the parking break, Here are a couple photos (#103)

yup, seems like it could fix it, just above the e-brake pedal is the main ground for the cluster.
