i know there alot of threads about how the guage jumps and all.
but mine just quit today it went to full to half then back to it was just below half,i said to my self that was weird so i got home and cut the car off.then turn the ignition on, the gauge just stop working.

i have a bad feeling its the sending unit but i hope it just the gauge.so any input?

thanks

 

Loosen the screws holding your dash in, and give it a wiggle. If you gauge needle jumps then it's just a loose dash. Mine did that for a while after doing some work on the speedo/cable setup.
If it's not that, then the sender most likely. I don't envy you.

 

aight i give that a try tomorrow and maybe put some more gas in it and see whats happen. if it is the sender i might just say the heck with it for now...

 

i wiggle the dash around, it didn't help any.I haven't put any more gas in it yet, but i drove the car around my yard over some roots and the gauge started to work read just above 1/4.then it just went back down E

bad gauge?
loose ground?

 

Loose wiring somewhere.
Trace wiring from the gas tank towards your dash. I think the sender wiring goes behind the tank then.... I never continued tracing it.

 

well the gauge works again, i just added 5g of gas crank the car,it was still on E. then i rock the car side to side and starting to work again.

so i guess the float got stuck...
