Fuel gauge on cluster

Post by Dodders » Mon Aug 09, 2010 1:16 pm

Sorry for the newbie Q's but here goes.

The fuel gauge on the bongo's dosen't work now I have taken the cluster out and the two connections are in but no third connector.Is this right?
Any way of making the gauge work or is it 2nd hand cluster change time?
If so is there a P/N for the cluster or do they all vary?

Cheers

Absolutely no idea, but a faulty gauge is often caused by a bad earth on the tank - loads on here if you do a quick search :D

Here you go - http://www.igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/forum/ ... =3&t=33920 a few people who haven't been able to access the sender have had equal success by earthing the tank to the body, there's a handy hole on the tank seam on the forward drivers side wher you can fit a connection & then to the body, obviously scrape back to good metal & then cover in waxoil or similar to prevent rusting.
