Gas gauge problem with and without lights on.

I've searched the forum, with no answer, and was hoping someone could help.

My fuel gauge bounces around, giving me a good idea hou\w much gas I have. When I turn on the dash lights, the fuel gauge drops below empty and stays there while they're on.

Anyone know what causes this?

More Bounce To The Ounce

You have a bad feed going to the fuel gage.

Inspect and repair the positive and negative line going to it.


Happy Racing!



If People Drove Any Slower They’d Be Going Backwards

When you see fog lights on in good weather beware. Low performance driver ahead.

How bout those nitwits too scared to drive without headlights in the daytime, and the nitwits that need headlights for a little rain
