Fuel gauge has stopped working...
where should i look first?
i presume there are wires from top of tank?

Hello,

there is a sender unit on the top of the tank which can fail - if you can get at the sender wire and earth it it should move the gauge to full (I think - can't remember exactly). I would check the multipin connector to the dashpod first - clean up the contacts there and check the PCB connections. there is a voltage regulator to the fuel gauge and temperature sender which can also fail, but in which case your temp gauge would also not work.

Hope you sort it out

Thanks mate actualy i dont think temp gauge is working also .... oops
where is this voltage regulator?

Hello,

can't find a picture of the dashpod, but it's behind the fuel gauge there - a three pin black thing with a screw through it.... check out this thread:
