Question Fuel Gauge Problems

Replaced fuel sending unit in tank this week and fuel gauge is still not working. All fuses are fine. Is there any other relay or something that could keep the gauge from working besides the gauge itself being broke?. Thanks for any info.

Im guessing the gauge is bad. Did you check the connections for corrosion at the sending unit?

I have a similar problem to this my gas gauge used to read empty all the time with the low fuel light on so I decided to switch out the anti-slosh module and then it stayed on past full until the tank was about a 1/5 full and it reads accurate from there till empty then when I fill it up it goes past full till the same position all over again. At least I know when to get gas lol.

It's on the back of the cluster, its a little circuit board held on with a torx screw. I don't believe you can buy the module but I had a 4 banger cluster laying around so I took it off that and tried it.

my old 88 NEVER read right, it was FULL or EMPTY..... but on my 83 the gauge works fine, i've never met anyone with a bad gauge in a 4 eye. maybe it was a problem with the aero nose fox's
