Autometer Fuel Level
Having trouble getting an auto meter fuel gauge to work. I used what I thought was the sending wire from the original cluster harnes. How would you all hook it up and how can I be sure I have the correct wire (other than color, my truck has had an interesting electrical history).
P.S. the whole dash in now Autometer's Cobalt gauges, very happy with them. ![]()

Hey goffer, run a search because i know a couple of guys have posted solutions to your problem with the autometer gauge. I cant remember exactly what was said but i remember that your are NOT suposed to use the factory harness the way it was originally hooked up.

I used one of the two fuel wires from the stock connector but cannot for the life of me remember which one it is, I think it was tan.
You can always just run a wire from the sending unit in the tank directly to the guage itself, might be easier and faster for you than hunting down the correct wire in the connector.

I think there are about 3 tan wires in that harness, so I found the tan wire coming from the tank under the fuse box and spliced in there.

I found the correct wire from the harness. There are several brown and tan wires in the harness. I knew I had about 3/4 tank, one of the tan wires read 68 ohms, so I knew where to go from there.
