Fuel Gauge
 
My fuel gauge stopped working. Anybody got any fuse locations or diagrams???
The search button did not work...

Fuel gauge gets it's power the same place as everything else in the cluster, so it won't be a blown fuse if the other gauges work.

The gauge is activated by a vari-resister in the fuel tank, it allows ground on the wht/green wire.

The most common reason that they stop working is either a bad sender, a bad ground (the fuel tank Black wire), or on the back of the cluster either corrosion on the conductive screws or a cold solder joint.

Mine (and my tach) on my vert went intermittent a couple months back when it got cold. I just removed all the screws on the back of the cluster board (one at a time) and put a little conductive grease on each end of the screw and put them back in and it hasn't had a problem since.

I'll check for the ground wire to see what happens. Hey My a/c works but the defrost and other buttons don't do a thing. The fan can be graduated to all levels but the defog and the one for the feet and so on do not do a thing. Just the recirc and a/c buttons work. Do I need to buy the whole fucking thing?
