Title: fuel gauge issues
Post by: 88turbo on October 01, 2014, 07:35:47 PM
Ever since I swapped in the clutch pedals when I did the T5 conversion in my 88 TC I've had an issue with the fuel gauge not functioning.  I currently have the dash pulled back and I'm searching for pinched/broken wires but I have yet to locate any problem areas.  Does anyone happen to know what color wires I should be looking for or does anyone have the EVTM handy and can scan the pages that show the dash wiring? I would really appreciate some help with this issue

yeah really,, you know there are plenty of EVTMs floating around.
matter of fact, I have a CD yet to upload of the 84 & 85 from softtouch.  seems like CD options in laptops are becoming obsolete

and there is always the telephone.

Scott, you have login to my FTP server, am I right? If so, please upload those EVTMs there and I will move them to my gallery.
