AWR-fix: Fuel Gauge Sender Repair (fix errant fuel gauge)


Press in the first clip

(Tapatallk wouldn't let me upload that image until I cropped In close, it thought my thumb was private part: if you ever get a random "sorry error" message, and you have flesh colored "stick" in your image do a report error and see if the report says adult image)


Use a thin pliers to press in the other clip. Be careful I'm sure nobody sells just the resistance component


Clip the wires back on! I forgot that step had to do the next step twice.


Push the resistance module back in


Now to test. Note the quick clamp to get repeatable position


165.1 Ω


Maximum position


500 Ω still


Back to the quick clamp stop


Hot dawg! To the decimal same value!



Read 25L before repair, 15L after repair.

Piece of cake*

So one more multiple hundreds of $$ repair for free!

* I always say this after spending months solving a problem.
