Default Help!!!!????

My gf drives a 99 vw golf. Her car is always having battery problems n we thought we finally got it fixed. Now none of her gauges r working they r all off even while she is driving no heat reading no speed or rpm but it is driving normal. We have been told different things like the alternator is at high voltage not working properly and another place said it was wiring. Could this really b related the alternator? Does anyone kno wat could cause this?

Bad alternator or battery could be the cause. Hook up a multi meter to the battery with the engine running, if it's not getting 13+ volts it's likely the alternator. Also check the fuse for the dash gauges

The nonworking gauges shouldn't be alt related.
