fuel gauge voltage limiter

[chrger1967]

You don't put it in the gauge, just on the back of the housing for all the gauges as shown. You only need to open up the fuel gauge if you need to repair the bimetal strip or other.

I know, but I have to open up the fuel gauge to disconnect the limiter inside the gauge, no?

Nope

https://www.rt-eng.com/images/e/e7/InternalLimiterFixUsingIVR3.pdf These instructions are saying to make sure the points for the limiter should be bent back ensuring they don't touch anymore. If you did this upgrade without having to do this, I think I will do it your way.

Also check your resistance of the fuel gauge to see if it is in working order. Should measure about 20 ohms. Even if you do get a good reading, the wire insulation could still be burned, but I would try this first before you take it apart.

If you need your fuel gauge rebuilt, I know a guy that does this. Has the correct wire.
