Stopped working the other day don't know why just wondering what is most likely the problem i have a 305 with the digital dash and it stays on full is it the fuel sending unit a sensor etc.. any info would be greatly appreciated.

 

If I'm not mistaken ( I am wrong sometimes ! ) If the electrical connections to the gauge are removed - like a broken wire - then the fuel gauge will shoot past the FULL reading. Where is the needle resting ???

 

yea its on full but remeber its a digital dash

 

Its probably a jacked sending unit. This is almost expected of third gens at some point in time.

 

so do i need to buy the whole sending unit or just a certain part were should i look and how much sorry for all the questions

 

My friend had one that had a simular problem and his had a bad connection back by the tank where the wires go from the tank to frame and then up to front, the connector at the tank was bad corroded and the ground wire was pulled and cleaned connector and area it bolts to. The another friend had the wires going into the sending unit in the tank melted together. He took and put a fuel door over where the sending unit is in tank so if it happened again he didnt have to pull the tank, just lift the carpet and open door to get to it.

 

I've owned 4 thirdgens now, and 3 of the 4 had bad sending units.

I think it's a trend. lol.

 

well the power supply has a wire saudered in directly from the fuse panel to power the fuel pump which was done because the fuel pump wasnt getting power so they kinda rigged it when i bought it but it was working before that theres 3 wires a power wire ground and signal
