« Last post by dakazman on Friday,May 03, 2024, 04:13:52 PM » I’m learning how to cut time off working behind the facia, or dashboard. By leaving the column bolted to the facia and just removing the 4 screws on the facia and the two side bolts thru door jambs. Also the console and bottom ground bolts 2ea. The access to the gauges is very easy.
All this for an oil leak at the pressure gauge and since my fuel gauge wasn’t working I found the problem after probing wiring. My sender has Three connectors, two large spade connectors and a smaller spade . Not remembering what I used to repair the unit when I received it new I just connected it to the larger spade. I swapped to the smaller spade on the sender and up came the needle on the gauge.
Then I started the car and had RPM, oil and a working fuel gauge.
Tomorrow I’m going to remove the LED instrument lights and go back to the original ones. A lot of work but well worth it.
