Issues
I bought a '88 GTU a couple months ago...which seemed to be in great condition for the age...but now as I am seeing with other FC owners and myself I am having some electrical issues...first no power mirrors then no reverse lights and now no guages lights or tachometer...nor do I have night time driving lights or warning lights? I've changed alllll of my fuses and my relays seem to be fine...what do I do?? I know it's a broad question but has any of these problems happend to anyone else?

Yes, that happens, however almost everything you mentioned (reverse lights, gauges, etc) are on the meter fuse.
If it is just the idiot lights, then I would be looking at resoldering or replacing with a rebuilt unit (available at my webstore), but since you have other issues. Check the fuse first.
Remember you need to check the fuse with a meter, not just by looking at it. You can't always see when a ATC fuse is blown, if it is blown with just a hair line crack.
You may also need to replace the light switch and light switch harness, (gauge dash lights), but check the big and simple things first, like a blown fuse.
