Title: Fuel Gauge Issues
Post by: old son on 09 January 2022, 11:58:46 am

I have recently refitted my fuel tank. I have a TFT dash and it was showing 2 bars when I removed and when I refitted. I've just filled up and the gauge is still showing the same reading. I've tried shorting out the plug from the loom but the gauge shows the same. Maybe I didn't leave is long enough?


Am I right in thinking that by shoring out the plug in the loom under the left cover the gauge should be showing full?


Is there a separate fuse for the fuel gauge?


Are there any connections or joins between the plug under the left hand cover and the plug that connects the TFT?


Thanks

OK, I've checked the gauge and that appears to be working satisfactorily. I'll check the sender when I've used a bit more fuel.

Give it a good shake, the float may be stuck from when you removed it

Thanks FazThou, I've just lifted the tank again and the plug had been pulled out of the sender unit. Pushed back in and all now working again.

Ah the time honoured method of retracing your steps 👍
Alls well that ends well 🙂
