Fuel Gauge Question

[97Bowtie1106]

ok so I replaced the cluster and everything is working perfectly, except the temperature gauge. It doesnt move at all. It worked before so Im guessing there is a fault in the cluster?

Yeah it sound's like the servo motor has probably quit on the temp part.

well I swapped that cluster for a denali cluster today lol and the gauge still doesnt work. It moves a little bit when I turn the key on but not even to the line...Im going to check the sending unti and see if thats it

fill the gas tank completely up

Now THIS sounds like a great idea... i was waiting on someone else to suggest that lol.. or let it run till its dead empty

 

[97Bowtie1106]

yea that was my plan but it wasnt just the gas gauge that wasnt right lol...it was all of them but the rpms...But it's all good now

Off topic, but the truck in your sig is , 97Bowtie1106! That being said, how did you get the needles off? Do you just use a kitchen fork like a lever and pop them off? Already ordered the LEDs for my gauges and i want to clear the needles then paint them red.

Also, congrats on everything working again.

thanks man. I just pulled the needles off with my fingers but a fork would be easier.

I cleared my needles, not gauges.

Its better to do it white the truck is running or atleast the key is turned. You could try your way first but if it doesnt move when you turn the key, you know why

alright,thanks.
