@^$%#$! Gauges!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alright...I'm so damn frustrated I feel like taking my .45 to my Jeep! My CJ
was in need of a new fuel gauge. I tried grounding the wire and couldn't get the darn thing to move no matter what. I checked the ohms on the sender and get about 20 ohms on a more than 1/2 tank...seems okay there. It's an aftermarket gauge so I'm not sure if the posts are switched around. To be safe I also bought a new temp gauge also. So tonight I hooked everything up, turned the key and the needle spiked on the fuel gauge. I turned the key back because I didn't want to blow the gauge...I know I don't have a completely full tank. I changed the wires on the back of the fuel gauge, turned the key and same thing. I pulled the pink wire off and grounded it to check the ohms again on the sender. I left it off and started the jeep to see if the temp gauge worked. Again without the pink wire on...the fuel gauge spiked. I reach up under to pull the hot wire and got some sparks. Now I'm not sure if the damn new gauge is toast or not. I quit after that. Any insight to this $%#@! problem? Thanks! Allen |

OK... calm down... What do you mean "after market gauge... does it fit in the OEM cluster? What do you mean you grounded the pink wire to check ohms?... that would be the wire that goes to the sender. -- JimG 80' CJ-7 258 CID 35" BFG MT on 15x10 Centerlines D44 Rear, Dana 30 Front.

I grounded the pink wire from the sender to the gauge as it's stated in the

No, that would show a full tank all the time when all connected up. He says it shows full with the pink wire loose: > I left it off and started the jeep to > see if the temp gauge worked.

Easy enough to check - measure the pink wire for the 20 ohms under the dash all the way back to the sender (with the pink wire off the back of the gauge). JimG |

Re: @^$%#$! Gauges!!!!!!!!!!!!!
> I grounded the pink wire from the sender to the gauge as it's stated in
the > monsterslayer site. Improper use of terms - you should say "connected" the pink wire from the sender to the gauge. Now I am a little confused - what do mean when you say spiked? Are you saying with all wires hooked up it reads full? What does it read with the pink wire disconnected from the back of the gauge? If the gauge is made for the OEM cluster, you can be sure the posts are not reversed.

Re: @^$%#$! Gauges!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The only thing I can think of is the gauge is maybe missing or needs a
separate voltage regulator. Stock the gauge runs on 5 volts. Put 12 volts to it and it will pin out full. I designed an electronic voltage regulator for mine to try and get around a bad mechanical one. In my case the mechanical one seems to work, I have a bad connection on one of the posts where it is connected to the board inside so I only get 3 volts or so usually. If you want I could send you the schematics for the electronic regulator.
