Hello Forum,
My Ranger fuel gauge has never worked so I thought I would try and get it functioning. When I first turn the key on the gauge goes from empty to full and then slowly comes back to empty. I replaced the fuel pump and sending unit but did not make a difference. Before I remove the instrument cluster I thought I would get your feedback. I was looking on eBay for a used fuel gauge. There is a complete cluster available, I was looking at the back of the cluster from the pictures on eBay.
Does the circuit board remove very easily to replace the gauge?
There is a thread to test the the fuel gauge from the sending unit. I used a jumper wire from the positive of the harness to the sending unit. Apparently the fuel gauge should read full if the gauge is working correctly. Gauge did not respond.
Are there companies I can send the old unit in for repair?
Do you know of any other test I can do on the gauge itself?
Thank you,
John
