Installed new caps, still a fuel gauge issue maybe???
 

hey all, i just installed the 3 new caps in my 93 ls400 cluster over the weekend.

everything is working amidst the airbag light which is no big deal cause ill fix that soon. But I have one outstanding problem.

After i installed the (2) caps dealing with the fuel gauge, i used the correct farrads and voltage on each but one was non polarized I hope that doesnt matter.

But with everything hooked back up, when i turned the accessory on the fuel gauge went to about half....so i took the car to a gas station to fill up. I topped off my tank with 93 until it clicked and was full. When I turned the accessory on to check...sure enough the gauge was showing all the way full! I thought yay! But after driving around for the evening and some today, the fuel still reads full :( what could be the problem could it be the one non-polarized capacitor i used?? I gotta get my fuel reading right!!!

thx guys

maybe you didnt use much fuel? top off the tank and see if a decent bit was used?

sounds like the float in the tank might be stuck....it's somewhat common on older cars.

how do i fix the float?

more than likely the caps fixed the issue though correct its just something else now??

u guys are the best, thanks!!!

Try removing the fuel sender sensor connector located in the trunk just to see if it the needle will move from full to empty. Or, you can play with the sender by moving the float up and down and see if the needle will move.

Do you happen to have any pictures for the sender or float?

Thanks
