Fuel guage rewire?

Post by MattBW »

I've tried the sender and the voltage regulator and I still have no fuel guage.. Everything else is working fine.

Is there a way to wire up a fix for just the fuel without a whole knew pcb? I have a soldering iron but not a lot of knowledge.

Do you mean you have replaced the sender and voltage stabiliser? Is the temperature gauge working normally?

What type of gauge do you have that incorporates the fuel gauge Matt? Rev counter or a clock or blank. I may have a spare fuel gauge you could try.

Apologies for delay I haven't been around lately.

The temp gauge does indeed work, I'm not sure what is normal but it sits quite low at about one quarter and rises to about half when stationary in traffic.

The dash is one without a rev counter and no clock, has odometer that goes in 100'000s

Sounds normal to me.

Have you cleaned the dashboard multi plug? Can't remember which pin is the fuel gauge.

As an update since the aaz has gone in it does get to the middle if sat in traffic for prelonged periods or if ragging it on the motorway (over 65 ;) )
