Tiny Light, tiny problem?

mr2tim · 05-01-2008, 09:53 PM

Not being very electrically inclined,
I'd like to ask if any of our mr2 owners have ever had a sticky gas gauge light and succeeded with a remedy? (Please don't make me pull this tank again

)

Flushed the new tank, popped in the pump. Reinstalled.

Yep, connections tested ok.

Wires outside the tank all show continuity.

Any electricians out thar?

Thanks now for your help later,

The lights on constantly w filled tank.

So the fuel gauge will read full, but the light will be on? Or will the fuel gauge be on empty with a full tank?

The tank is full of fuel and the light is on. I have seen this before. The sensor in the tank has failed.
