does any one know how to fix a broken (not working) fuel gauge some one said to solder pieces on the sending unit is the sending unit all that can go wrong if so i have no prob getting a new 1 thanks for n e help

 

it most liklely a bad sending unit

 

It seems unlikely for any components behind the dash to go wrong, unless someones been shoving a screwdriver up there or something. I mean, its not to hard to get the instrument cluster out and have a look, but I'd say that your fuel sender unit is broked.

 

I'm sorry to ask this but just got a new 83 RX7 GLS; gas gauge doesn't work and I wondered if it might be a gas gauge sending unit problem but--and here's the question--I don't know where to look for the sending unit. I don't know much about this, so could someone point me in the right direction? thanks. (I'm just a silly girl.)

 

Remove the left rear tire. Behind it, toward the bumper, is a plastic cover. Remove that. Behind that is the fuel tank. There's a round plate with (two?) wires going into it and six mounting screws. That's the sending unit.

Now for the important part. I thought the sending unit was the reason for my gauge not working, but that wasn't the case. I was the actual gauge, so don't rule it out entirely.

 

check you sending

unit

 

 

Sorry I haven't had time to check this out yet but I Thank You very much for pointing me in the right direction. I'll let you know the result.

Digging up an old post.



What exactly is one checking on the sending unit? and if its bad what do they generally run cost wise (do they even make them??)
