my gas gauge and speed o meter use to half ass work but all of a suddon they both stoped the gas gauge reads empty and my speedo is allways at zero i change out the line once befor for the speedo that goes from my dash to my tranny but it has stoped spinning any ideas?
-
Speedometer gear in the tranny probably on the speedometer. Gas gage should be unrelated--wiring, sending unit, gage itself. Can't think of any reason for them to both stop except coincidence.
-
ya i was thinkin the gas gauge hit somthin and shorted it out ill have to re run a new wire
-
are you sure youre not actually going zero miles an hour?
;D
-
There is a wiring diagram in the tech section, start tracing wires. It will be easier than you think.
-
i got so many wires that go no were its a pain
i have to use my tac to determan my speed
-
Fuel gauge doesnt have that many wires.
-
i found it ima have to fallow it all the way up
-
ya its not too hard, it should be its own plug and harness, well, on mine with dual tanks it is.
-
can i just run any new wire or does it have to see a special kind??
-
It has to be the correct gauge wire, see what you have now and replace with the same.
