Petrol Gauge Light
 

I replaced my tank sender unit recently hoping it would solve the petrol tank light failing to illuminate. Sadly it hasn't.

I disconnected the tank sender unit, checked no voltage between the pins and shorted two of three. The light began flashing. I shorted the other two and the light became steady.

So the electronics are working, as is the sender unit, but I'm still not being notified.

Any ideas? I'm stumped. :(

:shock: :shock: :shock: :wink:

have you got petrol in the tank, is that the reason, go on admit it, we're all friends here.


Sorry, just leaving :roll:

I'm staying, it's like shooting fish in a barrel :lol:

This question is genuine. :evil:

How do you know you haven't got a dodgy sender unit?

ROFL@ Carl.

Try checking the contact's in the connector. If it isn't that then im going with Couerdelion, probably a dodgy sender unit.

Well i replaced my original with a one I bought from mike1943 (can't remember exact username) so it should be OK. Plus the sender unit is not exactly complex - petrol fills up the little barrels on it and it changes the resistance.

As for contacts, I've been using a screwdriver to short them out so I don't believe it's that.

If anyone has the tank off can they short out middle to either side to make sure its defo not my electrics.

Accept it the bikes a write off.................
