    Aftermarket fuel guage!!! Need help

    I've done lots of googling on the subject and I just can't find an answer. There has to be a way

    How can I install a properly working after market fuel guage.

    I'm done dealing with factory clusters. This thread is for an aftermarket guage please don't suggest I use a stock one unless there is a way to wire it in with out the rest of the cluster.

      If you view the ETM for your car, under the Instrument Cluster section, you will find the wiring schematic for your fuel gauge.

      If you view it, it is very simple.

      Power, ground, and ground reference to the sensors in the tank. That's it.

        Don't I have to get one with right ohm resistance? That seams to be the hard part. The one I linked is programable so it should work right?

          It should if your senders work right. That could be the problem with your OEM fuel gauge. In that case, you will still have problems.
