|
|
Hi Guys and Girls,
Please can any of you give me some pointers on this problem !
My fuel gauge is affected by my Brake lights and Indicators, it will bounce from empty to half when I indicate left and go to empty when I brake. I changed the left rear bulb holder unit as the sidelight was linked to the plate lamp for a feed and I have fitted a new fuel sender unit.
The earth connection prongs in the boot look pretty grotty, so should I be looking for a new earth point ?
Any suggestions would be gratefully recieved on this side of the pond.  _________________ 1978 Auto 924 n/a in Red. UK build spec. It makes me smile to know that most of the Mechanics that get to work on my car are younger than the car is. |

Thanks for the advice, I am probably looking to make a mountain out of a molehill. Will try a new earth point and see what happens. _________________ 1978 Auto 924 n/a in Red. UK build spec.
