gas guage jumps
My 87 300E has 316K miles. The gas guage occ will change from a correct reading to zero to 1/4 back to normal. Sometimes the jumping is almost continuous and other times not.
Is this most likely a sender problem or dash problem? If a sender problem is it usually a contact cleaning or replacement of sender? If a dash problem is there a contact to clean? I may pull the dash anyway to get my trip odometer fixed(nobody local-plan to send to Hollywood if no other suggestions.) Thanks |
Likely a sending unit full of gunk. I recall seeing a web site by where someone to the unit out, cleaned it and re-installed.
Could also be a poor gound, either the sending unit end or the guage. Let us know what you find. |

Check the ground to the instrument cluster, maybe loose.
