Fuel gauge not working - Complete write-up
2 Attachment(s)
Mine wasn't working and found out it is an easy fix. There's a couple of possibilities:
1st: Broken ground wire/corroded. Easiest to fix. Attachment 666360 If that's the problem, the needle will be way below "E". Like this: Attachment 666361 2nd: Problem with the float. You need to remove hoses on the top of fuel pump, unscrew 2 hose brackets (10mm) and unscrew 8 Philips screws. Inspect assembly and repair. https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.n...12406216_n.jpg In my case, the (white) float wasn't there anymore. I had to insert my whole arm in the fuel tank to find it. So I put it back on the assembly. I also noticed a metal sheet loose in the tank, so I removed it from my tank. https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.n...05174817_o.jpg I suppose this sheet is the reason why my float was lost in the tank. This sheet unwelded by itself, surely because of vibration. Pretty sure it's a local issue, by the way. I suppose this sheet was used as a fuel reserve, when the tank is almost empty. If, like me, your float was lost in the tank, the needle will stay barely below "E". 3rd: I suppose a broken cluster could not show accurate reading. 4th: Wiring issue, I suppose symptom would be like if the ground wire is broken/corroded. I hope it'll help some guys here. Sorry for my english. |
