Gas Gauge

[Jester]

Its driving me crazy. Bought a new gauge set from NAPA - got the part number from another thread here. Put it in and as soon as the gauge gets power it pegs. I think a short in the wire to the sender.

Run a jumper wire from the sender to the gauge. Does same thing. Run a jumper from the battery and a jumper from the sender. Does the same thing.

What is up? Why would the gauge peg full? This is what the old gauge/sender did that I replaced.

HELP!!!!!!!

Did the sending unit you're using come with the gauge? They are generally matched to work together, so if you have a new gauge with the stock sending unit, they may not like each other.

BTW, I have a box of small parts and some tires for you here at my place.

The gauge and sender were a set from Napa. They are matched. No idea why they are not working.

I will get with you to get the parts/tires. I am excited.

And check your grounds. Always check your grounds.

this may be simplistic but is it a 12v gauge on a 24v system?... or versa vicey

Wish it was that easy. Nope. Truck is coverted to 12V and the gauge/sender is for 12V.
