Fuel guage not working

Post by becandgarry23 »

Morning campers,

Recently bought our first T25, and the fuel guage isn't working, my obvious thought is the sender unit in the tank, which on investigation looks like a reasonably big job, does anyone know if there are any other common electrical gremlins on the T25's (ie guage or wiring) that it might be before I get my hands dirty.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Assuming your temp gauge is working OK = ?

The most common cause is a dodgy connection on the 14 way connector you can get to underneath the dash binnacle. Pin 7, lilac black wire, is the fuel gauge. Take care when handling the "ribbon cable" = it is easily damaged.
