Fuel guage on my 66 C-10 works fine till I turn on park lights or headlights then it reads to half full position, any idea's for tracking down this problem would be helpful.

Follow wires out of guages all along where they come in contact with eash other.Look closley for I believe there are wires that have lost their insulation anb are gitting to close and shorting.Check closley where they make the transition where the toe-board and floor-board meet as the two edges will cut the insulation.

Run a ground wire from back of instrument panel to metal part of the body.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

it's only one wire
a frame ground to the tank and a single wire back to the gauge
