I think it's dead as the tank is full and showing empty. any ideas on how to replace an au 99 sedan fuel sender unit. to be honest i havent checked the fuse, but i suspect its on the same as the instruments which are all working.

lift up the boot mat and un do the plate above the tank. see if the wires are connected, you can check the connector wit a multi meter and see which one is the fuel pump and which one is the fuel guage, earth out the fuel guage one and the dash guage will read full if the guage is working ok then it is your sender. first before you pull it out get a "O" ring and a sender and have over 1/2 a tank of fuel in the tank to hold the bottom of the tank down far enough to refit the sender. cheers..

How to undo the plate above the tank? Is it pushed in, screwed in or glued in? (My fuel gauge is reading "high" - shows half when almost empty - although the DTE display seems correct) JohnH |

Problem appears to be the fuel gauge. I'm told that the entire cluster has to be replaced. Replacement (from wreckers) may have higher odometer reading :( |

Easy as. 2 plastic grommets covering screws at top of dash cluster.
Remove them then the screws behind them and the cluster just slides out. Just a matter of unplugging the looms in the back and it's out. 5 Min job tops. |

Is there a way to test the sender (eg with a multimeter)? I've been quoted $110 for an instrument cluster from a Ford wreckers/spares place in Springvale. Any other recommendations where to shop for one? (Melb SE suburbs). JH |
