>I had a problem with my gauge a while back, never registered more than half full. >I think it was a post from Andy Erskine that suggested having a look at the gauge itself, >there is a coilish bit of wire in the gauge, this was encrusted with I don't know what. >But after a quick gentle brush I put the gauge back in the dash and lo, it worked fine. >Bizarre, I never did understand black magic. Yep, that was me. I'd checked the wiring, the voltage stabiliser and the sender and couldn't work it out. Even the gauge seemed to work OK when I tested it on the bench. As a last resort I took it apart (needs a delicate touch) and found what looked like carbon on the coil in there. I scraped it off with a knife and it's worked fine since. Andy E.
