Hey all,
I have no fuel gauge reading, or at least the pointer is right down below empty despite the tank being more than half full. I have tested wiring at the back of the gauge and I am getting full voltage from both connections. Does that mean that the gauge is faulty?
If it's not the gauge then I'm thinking that the fuel tank needs to be dropped to get access to the sender unit?
As a side note, my dash power points work and I happen to have some speaker style plugs that fit beautifully. I think I'll wire up a cigarette lighter style power plug so I can charge my phone. The luxury!
Also, some kind soul has put in the wiring for a courtesy light above the rear view mirror and a switch on the rhs of the instrument panel. They have even gone to the bother of routing it through the headlamp switch so it will only operate when the lights are on. At least that reduces the likelihood of it being left on. There is no light there at the mo so I've bought a small classic mini light to go up there.
Good clean simple fun these landies!
