Any help is appreciated. > Are the sender and the gage still available? If you just ground the wire at the sender the dash gauge should read full. If the dash gauge reads full when the wire is grounded and below empty when the wire is completely disconnected, then the dash gauge and wiring are fine. The sender is most often the problem. You can remove the nut at the bottom and carefully take off the alum sleeve. Be very careful with the little wire in there. You may be able to clean things, or you may want to send it to me for repair. The little wire is very soft and fragile. Be VERY careful with it. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
