Fuel Gauge Indicates "F" At All Times

  1. Unplug fuel tank sender connector. If fuel gauge indicates "E", replace fuel tank sender.
  2. If fuel gauge indicates "F", unplug 10-pin instrument cluster connector. Using a DVOM, check resistance between terminal No. 3 (Yellow/Red wire) and ground. If resistance is not infinite, repair short to ground in junction block or Yellow/Red wire between instrument panel cluster and fuel tank sender.
  3. If resistance is infinite, unplug 8-pin instrument panel cluster connector. Connect a DVOM from connector terminal No. 8 (Brown/Red) to chassis ground. If resistance is greater than .5 ohm, repair open in Brown/Red wire between instrument panel cluster and negative battery terminal.
  4. If resistance is less than .5 ohm, check instrument panel cluster printed circuit for cracks or poor connections. If printed circuit is okay, replace fuel gauge.
