Got the lights and new flasher/ turn signal are working. Radio & speakers are good. The head & tale lights are good. The gas guage has no power at the sending unit well actuall about 3 volts. 12 v into the guage and low to none out. I can't see the gas guage needle on either side of guage. I check it before reassembly and worked ok. Is it possible for the needle to be pinched as I did have that with the speedometer needle before testing prior to installing. | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 1,624 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2005 Posts: 1,624 | The sender gets it power from the gas gauge. It is not something one would nornally measure (with a VOM) while troubleshooting. There are other tests or checks for proper function of the gauge and sender. Make sure your gauge case is grounded. Search the forums as there is a ton of data there as this is one of the most common problems discussed in the electrical section.

It is either buried on either side or somehow I didn't put it in correctly ....I'm bummed cause the gauges were a real bee-ouch to put in. No room under dash and lying upside down to see isn't fun....
I'll tackle that after everything else is complete..
Hope everything works out. | | |
