Re: fuel guage always overfull.?

If it way overfull, check the tan wire that goes to the fuse block that reads fuel. If it is unplugged the guage moves far to the right past full. Next check your fuse, and then the ground wire from the sending unit to the frame.

Re: fuel guage always overfull.?

i would guess that its probably gonna be the ground wire as it attaches to the underside of the box...easy way to remember....over full is a ground...below empty is positive
