My gas gauge don't work, either.
I keep hoping this particlular problem will get addressed, but I havn't seen it. My gauge has always been on full. Not over full or past full, just what you would expect with a full tank. The wire coming off the tank was cut and just twisted togther and I soldered it back together and the gauge didn't do anything when I had the wire apart. After I soldered it back togther, the gauge went to about 5/8ths of a tank or so. What could be causing this? Stuck sender?

If you have an ohm meter check the resistance of the tank terminal to ground. The tank unit should put out an ohm reading between 0 ohms and 90 ohms, (0 being empty, 90 being full and readings in between will indicate the increments on the gauge in a linear mode).
If the ohm reading seems to match up, unplug the brown tank wire from the fuse panel and take a reading from the wire to ground, (should be the same as at the tank). If the tank reading is not good than the sending unit is probably bad. If the sending unit and wiring all checks out good than I would check the grounding of the gauge housing and the gauge. Jim |
