    Troubleshooting: Fuel Guage

    Fellow Enthusiasts:

    -Cluster works, all the lights come on, etc..
    - Fuel Guage doesn't work.

    All fuses are O.K. Even though I don't really know it it's a RELAY or fuse that needs to be checked. (Diagram?)

    Do I have to check the fuel sensor? Where?

    The car sat for a while and it might be stuck..

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance..

    Is it marking anything at all? Make sure the nut 8mm behind the gauge is tight. If it is then I would say get a new sending unit.

      The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.
