Gas gauge and speedometer do not work

Hello,

There are five fuses that run the cluster. use this guide to check for power and the cluster wiring diagrams to see which fuses need to be checked:

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what happens.

Mahalo Ken for your response. Fuses in the interior and under the hood were checked and are operational.

I would check for power and ground at the connector and if okay I would replace the cluster with used/rebuilt.

Hi Ken, so the new/used instrument cluster was exchanged for another one. Installed the second one and voila temperature gauge works, speedometer works, trip and odometer works. Gas gauge doesn’t. Going to check the fuses and relays for the fuel pump? What else could I check?

Getting closer nice work. The gas gauge could have a sender out which is common. You will need to ground the sender wire to see if it goes to full. ( yellow/red back at the tank ) Let me know what happens.

Aloha Ken,

Okay, so checked the sender and cleaned it funny thing though there is a cork for the float like a wine cork. Is that even normal? Okay, so here’s the stupid question, how do I ground that wire?

Cork? Can you send a video/picture you can upload it here. This could be the problem.

Aloha Ken,

I’ll try and take it back out but this is what it looked like attachéd to the float lever.

lol, that's a good one. I would replace the sender but while it is out connect the wiring and turn the key on and move the float up and down to see if the gauge moves. please let me know.

Aloha Ken,

Below is the photo of the cork float. Okay, so tested the sender while out of the tank. Gas gauge slowly climbed. We replaced the cork float with another float and reinstalled pump back into tank. The gas gauge continued to climb to full which is where the gas tank is currently. Then the gas gauge dropped to empty.

Oh and now with pump out of the tank and plugged in when I move the arm to the full position the gas gauge does not move. Argh!

It sounds like the sender is bad, can you ground the sensor wire and have it go to full, then unplug the sender and it should go to empty. Let me know.
