thats right

 

[mustanghurt]

grrrrreeeeeaaaattttttt sounds like a good time

and im guessing thats not easy to do

 

[0ne_sik_notch]

its simple 1/2 an hour if you where kneer ramona id help for free or you could come over here too. you may want to try hitting the heel of your palm on the tank and have someone in the car to watch the gauge to see if it moves?

and if it moves its the sender and if it doesnt its the gauge? and yeah im down at miramar and im still at work so...

im betting its the sender, had that problem in my 89.

 

[mustanghurt]

alright so i went to check it out and there a two wires and a cup looking connector that is brass and has a silicone filling with a brass center inside the cup.

i was gonna look behind the dash and try to hook everything up but i cant get the d@%# knob off. anybody know how to get it off

when was the last time your tank was full?

if its been awhile it is possible the floater is stuck in which case all you need to do is a go fill your tank and the gs will re lubricate the floater and it will be fixed.

had that happen many other times in cars ive sold.

happens usually in cold weather

 

[mustanghurt]

when i bought the car the gas tank was full. i filled it twice since then and nothin has changed.

still think it has something to do with those lines, just need to know how to get the headlight/illumination knob off

 

[Roushed2]

theres a alan head screw on the left side

 

[mustanghurt]

ill look there tomorrow and hopefully hook some line up and that will be it. is it possible to post pics to the thread of the lines tomorrow so i could get some insight on where these possibly go

 

[Roushed2]

its worth a try

 

[mustanghurt]

alright so while i was in the car this morning waiting for her to warm up i went lookin for the screw in the side of that knob.....no luck am i just blind or something

 

[Roushed2]

is the knob the plastic stock one or is it aftermarket



if its aftermarket you pull it out lke your turning on your lights and the screw is on the side the door is on.



if its stock the you should be able to pull it off there is no screw if it is the stock plastic

sorry should have said last night

i wrote it at 3 something in the moning lol

 

[mustanghurt]

alright the only thing i was worried about when it came to pulling it off was wether or not it would stay on when i go to put it back on or if it would just keep coming back off after that

 

[Roushed2]

it will stay back on.

theres no poblems with it staying back on. its a tight fit and if you change t to aftermarket billet you screw the side to make it a tight fit.

 

[mustanghurt]

awesome ill try again tonight and hope for the best
