Where does the fuel gauge wiring go ?

Question

Hi , my fuel guage isnt working since the respray, i suspect its just been dis connected under the bonnet , where does the fuel gauge wiring run to , after it leaves the instrument panel? Does the other other end attach somewhere near the fuel tank ?

Ps the car is a 1971 Buick Riviera

Answer 1

It goes to the fuel sending unit in the gastank, the connector is i the middle of the tank on top....

Answer 2

The wires run to the pickup module in the gas tank.  

Answer 3

On a '71 it should be easy enough to trace from the gauge to the tank sending unit (pink wire?). If the wire hasn't been crushed somewhere along the way, check for a good ground off of the tank itself, and the gauge. If you have a volt meter, you can check the sending unit itself also.

Answer 4

check on the top of the fueltank fot the sender unit...check wiring there,,..sometimes they snap...or it may just want cleaned and reconnected
