Troubleshooting

Gauge reads full or empty constantly

Check the wiring between the gauge and the sender unit for loose connections or breaks. Ensure the sender unit is properly calibrated and functioning correctly.

Gauge pointer is erratic

Verify that the sender unit is compatible (float arm type) and functioning smoothly. Check for any obstructions around the float arm. Ensure all electrical connections are secure.

Gauge does not illuminate

Confirm that the gauge is receiving power from a switched `+12V` source and has a good ground connection. Check the illumination wire connection.

Gauge needle not moving

Double-check all wiring connections to the gauge and sender. Test the sender unit independently if possible. Ensure the gauge is compatible with the sender type.
