Fuel gauge anti slosh circuit

Post by Gavin Hamson »

Finally got around to fitting the kit. I've seen the technical article posted. The dashboard is out and I see 2 green wires, and a green/black wire going into the fuel gauge. I'm connecting the module to the green/black wire :?: :oops:

Cheers, Gavin.

Gavin you need to cut into the green wire, the end still attached to the gauge goes to the fuel gauge terminal on the module and the other end which is coming from the sender unit goes onto the sender terminal on the module. Keith

Thank you Keith.
I've got 2 green wires going into the gauge. I can fit the module into either one?

Cheers, Gavin.

Gavin my mistake mines an earlier car, you break into the green black wire according to the service notes as that is the wire that runs from the gauge to the sender unit. Keith
