No, evidently I don't know exactly why it is not working right. I have checked so many possibilitys, I am just tired of it. Pins in the plug in to printed circuit. the gas sender wire pin was broken..replaced circuit board. New solid state voltage limiter,..took it to a electronics tech-- he was baffled... The gauge registers in - correcty, only when my light switch is on.. Plenty of advice from this board, none found the problem. ...Thought about running a new wire with a adjustable voltage limiter, and attaching it to the mounting stud for the gas gauge, insulating it from the circuit board with non conductive washers. But I don't want to mess with that instrument cluster any more !
I cannot find any fuel level gauges at autometer. All kinds of fuel related gauges --except fuel level. Could you send me a link, or how to find what you have.. Thanks...................................MO
Thank you SOOOO much ! lots to choose from. I wonder why those were not on the Autometer website? Probably my poor search skills...........................................MO
Installing a ground was one of the first things I did. I have been doing just what you did..and at 200 miles. But now my speedo-odometer shot craps and locked up....................................MO
Cool product!
Well, some. My wifey calls my red and white 64 Dodge " Christines brother" LOL It just keeps kicking my a** ! I been twisting wrenches for 55 years ( not professionally) Now I have low vision, not flexible , and can't get off the floor without something to hang on to! No more speedo aggravation, as the head froze up and does not work at all now.
I now have run several miles with needle still showing full. Been checked on the shorted sender wire. A mechanic friend loaned me a variable setting ohm meter. . I can hook it up in line with the sender wire, and adjust the ohms to the gauges ohm range and that will show if the gauge works correctly......................................MO
Today's update. We checked the new fuel gauge with the variable ohm test meter. The new gauge and wire to it from sender does work as they should . Pulled the sender out ( that I thought was OK) and OMG ! The sock was completly gone and the float wire was stuck inside the resister. I thought the guy that cleaned and sealed the tank said it was OK CRS strikes again! . Late Tuesday I ordered a new 3/8 fuel sending unit from 521 restorations Jeff is an A-1 vender. good price and he checks them out before shipping. I received them Thursdays mail. Looks like great quality and all stainless steel. Put the fuel sender in today and WOOOO--Haaaaww. I now have a working gas gauge. !!! And I think it reads the correct fuel level. Supposed to be a nice day tomorrow, so will be out cruise'in before Winter ................................MO
