torxxx Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I'll bet you a dollar its the sending wire coming out of the tank. I had that happen on my car. thought it was the gauge, changed the cluster, didnt fix it, changed another lower mileage cluster, still didnt fix it. Pull the carpet up in the back (if its a wagon) or in the trunk if its a sedan. There will be a axis plate going to the tank. It should have 2 or 3 phillips screws holding the plate on, check the wires going to the tank for corrosion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torxxx Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I just gave you a perfectly good explantion for your fuel gauge not working and you want more reasons???!?!?! Ok a midgit was living under your car. He realized how dark is was and decided to cut the wires going to your fuel tank sender. He used those wires to set up lights under your car. There ya go....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torxxx Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I spliced new wires into the sender and then ran the wires up to the back passenger door and spliced into the wiring harness because I didnt feel like dealing with trying to splice wire in between the top of the tank and the body. I dont remember what the colors of the wires were, but I can bring my manual home tommorow and give you a color Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacobs Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 The fuel gauge on my 86 quit working and I traced it to the sending unit in the tank. I removed the carpet and then removed the plug in the floorboard which exposed the sending unit and wires. If you ground the sending unit wire, the fuel gauge should read full. If the gauge reads full, the sending unit is faulty. If it doesn't, you have a broken wire or a faulty gauge. By the way, there's two wires going to the sending unit. One for the low fuel light and one for the gauge. I don't remember the color codes so you'll have to expermint. If you ground the wrong wire, the low fuel light will illuminate.
