Default Electrical gremlins. Temp gauge stopped working, now fuel is intermitant. Dash volt regulator?

The Bentley is less than helpful in trouble shooting without ripping it all apart and testing components. Any known faults or things to look for?

The CPU is also showing faults with the fuel reading routines, but that may be directly related to the fuel gauge and or voltage regulator problems.

All other electrical apparatus works as it should.

I had the temp gauge stop working. I greased and reseated the connectors. That fixed it for me
