i think im either Marmite at electrics and understanding instructions that are available, or BOTH my fuel gauges are broke. I have the original in the speedo and a splitty gauge undermounted. i cant get either to work, and i do know the split one is 6v, i have a reducer. I dont understand about the voltage meter i have, and dont have the crocodile clips needed to make it easy. I cant fit under the dash very well as i am too broad, and ive got the hump with it. Is it a hopeless mess or should the fuel sender be my next port of call? Or how do i test the sender without cutting a hatch? It is irritating me and making me very very grumpy. Sam can vouch for that. PSG
buy a fuel sender and test the gauges with it ,that way you know for sure.. Take clocks off it is much easier 4 screws and speedo cable..
If you have a 1700 1800 or 2000 litre engine you can get to the sender by removing the bulkhead. With an upright engine I don't think its possible to get the bulkhead out with the engine in place (someone may be able to correct me here though?).
The last owner put the splitty one in, it doesn't work either so I don't know why it was even done. It honk it's the sender to be honest cos the splitty gauge flicks and goes to full with some wire touching so I need to tackle the sender really. I might start a new thread in mech and tech now. Cheers all. Oh and it's a 1600 so it's engine out to get to the sender, and tank out to change it. Good design there lol. Psg
