Need help with fuel gauge

73blue4x · 11-09-2008, 11:31 AM

I am having a lot of problems with the fuel gauge in my 73' pick up. I think it may have to do with the wiring. The fuel gauge wire that runs to the back was cut in two spots. I connected them back together. The tank reads about half full usually and goes up and down. Any body have some suggestions on how I might be able to get it to work properly?

check the ground at the tank, replace the wire to the front, a bad spot could change the reading at the guage
