![]() ![]() I am a persistent person, I wouldnt throw in the towel on this as soon as you give me credit for friend. if you have any suggestions as to where I can find a new cluster or even a better gauge to mount in place of this equus one. I could never find thee original cluster replacement online and the closest junk yard with a Tibrd donor to Tucson was in Maricopa and they charged 300 for it which I thought was ridiculous for a used one sitting in the Arizona sun. I just settled for this equus cause I was 300% done messing with it. at this point I was frustrated and done not knowing how much gas I really had in the tank, I even stalled out cause I ran out of gas. I did do a light test on everything, originally the two needles never moved anyway but they both got power and were grounded correctly. I got everything working up to that cluster. plugging wires and sockets where they belonged. I spent a great deal of time in the instrument panel to the steering column etc. Let me correct myself and explain in complete detail I'm one to take my time and know when the problem is fixable before I go with a different direction. Ford gauges, sending units and CVRs were manufactured by King-Seeley for many decades. BTW, it's impossible to wire our gauges backwards. Our gauges range from 100Ω when empty to 10Ω when full. At that point you will either need to find a gauge to match your sender or a sender to match your gauge.Īccording to these part numbers, NONE are compatible with Ford gauges or our sending units. If these specifications do not match those of the gauge (listed below) then the two are not compatible. To see if your gauge and sender are compatible you must check the ohms your sender shows at both full and empty. If the gauge and sender are not matched in ohms then a false reading will be the result. Fuel level gauges and senders work on units of resistance called ohms. Second, do both the sender and the gauge share a common ground. First, do the ohm specifications of the sender match those of the gauge. "Q: My fuel level gauge is not reading correctly, why?Ī: There are two things that you need to make sure of when hooking up a fuel level gauge. When we disconnect our sending unit wire (greater than 90-ohms resistance) our gauges fall to 'empty' or 'Cold'. It upsets me when vendors sell stuff that does not work, then comes the disclaimers.Įvidently you bought a gauge that is 0-90 ohms meaning, the gauge reads Empty at zero ohms. "These Equus Analog Gauge Line gauges are perfect for any type of vehicle." NO THEY ARE NOT!
