Re: fuel gauge not working
took sender out of tank - moved float up & down - will not move gauge. When we touch the test light to the sending unit wire (which in theory ground it right?)- the gauge moves up and pegs. also, now mysteriously the low post on the gauge is back to cycling on and off.

Re: fuel gauge not working
Thank you Powerman for posting this... I was pulling my hair out on this exact problem until I loosened the nut and moved the fuel gauge over about 1/4 inch and..... I have a working fuel gauge! Oh and the temp gauge is working again!!! I am in business... Thanks for this post, I know it is two years later.. but thanks!PowerMan wrote:It will peg because one of the pegs on the gauge is touching the metal gauge cluster. Dealt with that before. You loosen the nuts holding the gauge and make sure it's not touching the metal. Hopefully that will work out.
