1970 Ford F100 Gas Gauge Not Working
It may be the sending unit in the tank that needs replacing. Here's how you can check: Turn the key on and disconnect the sender unit at the gas tank. Ground the sender unit's wire with a jumper wire from the truck's harness to ground. Watch the gauge. If the gauge on the dash is good, grounding the sender wire will cause the gauge needle to react and should move to full. This would indicate a new sending unit is required. If the gauge doesn't move when the sender unit is grounded, the gauge is bad and needs replacing. Pull the instrument cluster out to replace the gas gauge. Likely any old ford gas gauge might work-back then, there were not so many production changes.
Is my gas gauge is always in full position even though I've run 300 miles on it. So what I do always reset it back to zero. But how difficult it is to fix this. Or what's a reasonable charge by a mechanic for this type of problem?
