gas gauge reads full constantly
alright i know it would be sweet if it were true, but what causes my auotmeter fuel gauge to read full all the time it doesnt even move, has done this from day one and im tired of the illusion, if it makes a difference i have a preformance online tank behind the rear axel
thanks for your time

Re: gas gauge reads full constantly
Wrong sender? Did the sender come with the gauge?
GM is 0-90 ohm Autometer 30-240 ohm? Jay

Re: gas gauge reads full constantly
autometer makdes different gauges to work with the facotry sender... do you have both of your gauges hooked up? like both fuel gauges? I had a wierd one in a past truck that both were hooked up, i unhooked the stock and the auto meter started working... wierd. otherwise your signal wire is probally grounded somewhere.

Re: gas gauge reads full constantly
iam pretty sure i have he right gauge for the gm sending unit, i got the sending unit from performance online with my tank 0-90 ohm same as the gauge, the only thing i could think of was i set the sending unit up wrong as it was a universal length one
so other than that i need to check the wires, the truck has a painless wireing harness in it also thanks for your time

Re: gas gauge reads full constantly
Could b a bad ground connection... I had the same problem with my factory fuel gauge and it ended up being a cut ground wire to the sending unit.
