Check the contacts of the wires coming from the gas tank. They might be oxidized. Just guessing... |

Already check anything from gas tank to gauge, I took to repair my gas gauge, but only worked well some days. |

yep check the connecton at the tank and the groundind strap,if that doesnt work check the back of the cluster mine had some corrosion cleaned it up with a scotch brite pad and tightened up the nuts on the gauge and mine was up and running again |

checked the wire at the tank, grounded it , gas gauge went to full, did i ground the gauge to long, shows no movement when i tryed the ground trick again, if so how do you removed the gauge from the dash, i'm wounding if i screwed up both the gauge and the sending unit in the tank, any HELP! |

Well, looks like time and recent water leak finished with my gas gauge, so I buyed a new one, not original, I needed to put it below dash, anyone got a clock for dash? they use the same space in dash. |

Grounding the wire at the tank shouldn't damage the guage, since its almost fully grounded when the sender is indicating a full tank anyway. You may still have a wiring problem and moving the wire only temporarily made it work. Tests to do: 1) measure the resistance of the sending unit with an ohmmeter 2) measure the voltage at the sending unit wire with the ignition switch on (should flip flop between 0 and 12 volts if you have a stock instrument cluster regulator) 3) Does your temperature guage work? If not, it may be the instrument cluster regulator that's bad. |

thanks for the responds, temp gauge DOES work,i'll go over the test again, took the kick panel off, unpluged the plug, grounded the blue wire with a test light, but no needle movement, i just want to be sure one way or the other that the dash gas gauge is no good before trying to remove the instrument cluster |
