Fuel Gauge Indicates "E" At All Times

  1. Unplug fuel tank sender connector. Using a DVOM, check resistance between terminal No. 3 (Brown/Red wire) and ground. If resistance is greater than .6 ohm, repair open in Brown/Red wire between fuel tank sender and negative battery terminal.
  2. If resistance is less than .6 ohm, connect a fused jumper wire between fuel tank sender connector terminal No. 1 and ground. If fuel gauge indicates "F", replace fuel tank sender.
  3. If fuel gauge still indicates "E", leave jumper connected and unplug 10-pin instrument cluster connector. Using a DVOM, check resistance between connector terminal No. 3 (Yellow/Red wire) and ground. If resistance is greater than .6 ohm, repair open circuit in junction block or Yellow/Red wire between instrument panel cluster and fuel tank sender.
  4. If resistance is less than .6 ohm, check instrument panel cluster printed circuit for cracks and poor connection. If printed circuit is okay, replace fuel gauge.
