[diesel_mercedes] : Fuel Gauge Service

 



No ;

You open the first aid kit compartment and remove the kits, set aside and use a stubby # 2 Philips screwdriver to take out the one screw holding the plastic box in place ~ once the box is out you can see the top of the fuel tank and the plastic plug attaching the wires to the sender .

Wipe the dust off the wires and make notes of the colors ~ one will be solid brown , that's the ground wire .

Use a bit of wire to jumper the other two wires to a clean metal piece like the door latch striker in the jamb .

If you have any , here is a good place to use a test wires with alligator clips .

Take your time , work diligently , 90 + % of the time the problem is in the sender .

BTW : have you yet looked at the fuses ? if any of them have a grey metal strip , they're BAD and are just waiting to fail and give you fits so cound how many you need in the various Amperages and go buy more than you think you need , replace ALL grey metal strip fuses ! they're cheap .

Thank you for the response!  
I have rear seats (grey market car) but they can't be too hard to remove.  I presume the sender will be obvious once the seat is out?

Thanks,
Chris
