Before you bought any parts, did you use a multi-meter & check the signal from the sender? Then check the same signal at the dashboard end of the wire? It might have been a broken wire all along...

 

first off make sure fuse # 1 underdash fuse box is ok,,,,,,,,,if it is go to sending unit make sure the black wire is a good ground ,,,,, if it is ground the yellow/white wire and watch the gauge if gauge stadily goes up you got a bad sending unit if gauge does not wotk it could be wiring from sending unit to gauge or gauge itself i cannot remeber if car has to be running but try it both ways

 

i don't understand the gas light works but the guadge don't work

did you try the test i told you to do??? if so what happened?? if not why not ???

</TD></TR></TABLE>Those are 2 different circuits. Have you checked continuity? Got a friend who knows how to use a multi-meter?

 

it showed good on the meter and then i hooked the yellow and white wire to a ground and the guadge went all the way up to the top so i need to change the sending unit in the tank?

 

I better be careful what I say about a year I don't own. But here goes...

I think the sending unit in the tank has one circuit for the gauge, and another circuit for the warning lamp. So it's possible for the on/off switch for the lamp to be OK, while the variable resistor for the gauge is broke.

I guess what that means is YES, you need a new sending unit.

 

thanks man i preshate all the help on all you have told me
