Re: Fuel Gauge

The easiest way to troubleshoot fuel gauge problems is at the sending unit. Don't mess with the cluster or fuse box until you do this first: Slide your seat forward, and with the key on disconnect your tan wire at the sending unit. Your gauge should now read about 3:00. Now ground the tan wire against the top of the sending unit, or the fuel tank, or a known good ground. The gauge should now go to empty. If those two steps work, everything is working properly all the way back to the gauge.

That tells you the problem is in the sending unit. I have pulled out sending units and cleaned them up more than once at they work fine.
