Maybe a priest....

Must be a wire issue between the sender unit and gauge connection.

Make sure you have 12v to your regulator.

Also measure the output of your regulator.

When its not working were is the pointer sitting?

 

the gauge goes to empty

 

On the "E" or pegged all the way over passed the "E" ?

 

the gauge only goes to e it does not peg out thanks jgh1

 

Yeah, probably no open or short then.

Your going to have to do some wire wiggle testing and inspection.

Maybe some of the other Lads will chime in with ideas.......

 

This just happened to me on my way home from work. I just filled up too. Look down, gauge is PEGGED way past the E.
