Niko Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 My gas gauge won't go up or down since i did the needle repair. The gas light also keeps coming on and off and i know i have a half tank of gas. anyone have this problem and was it a broken gauge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMTtech Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 when you re-install the cluster, you must manually put the gas gauge back as close as you can to where it was, I don't know why but when I took my cluster out to change out the back light, i had to do this to fix it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even repair the gas gauge needle so I don't know why its doing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even repair the gas gauge needle so I don't know why its doing this. I guess the thing I would try next, fill er' up to the top, un-plug the cluster from all electronics, then put the gauge back up to where it is on the Full mark, then plug it back in to the car and cross your fingers. even if you un-plug it then plug it back in it can do this. it's the only gauge that does the manual reset thing for some reason but as I remember it has to be fairly exact other than that, I have no idea what you should do -Erik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niko Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 i realized that my odometer and tripometer don't work at all either. does this have anything to do with why my gas gauge won't register? any ideas?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMTtech Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 are you sure you re-attached the harness to the trip buttons (i attached a pic of the harness you need to have attached, it's the one at the bottom thats hardly visible.) It's not related to the gas gauge though, you can have an accurate gas gauge and the trip buttons un-plugged. hope that helps, let me know if you have any other questions -Erik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
