Banjo Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Hi Brendon, Common fault with the olde KEs. The usual cause is the tiny 8-9V voltage regulator on the rear of the dash printed circuit board behind the guages, or the "sender unit" in the tank itself. Very rarely is the cause the guage itself. I assume you have checked all the fuses first. I'll see if I can't dig out the circuit for you. Cheers Banjo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parrot Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Pull the sender out and check it with a multimeter. Resistance (ohms) should vary as the arm goes up and down. If that's good then work your way forward to the gauge as above. Sometimes the sender floats get holed and fill up with fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
