Default Fuel

Ever since I installed the Racetronix 340 fuel pump and wiring harness my fuel gauge doesn't work, it would just read empty. That was a year ago. I finally decide to fix it today and I can't figure out whats wrong. The float is good, the wires are good. I tried switching the 2 purple wires coming out of the float around thinking they may of gotten crossed. Still no work. The weird thing is the gauge will jump around somtimes like here is a loose ground or something, but it just started doing this recently. I checked all fuses and relays and they are good. Went over my wiring and it looks right. Anybody want to take a guess whats wrong???

I'm not certain about this but I believe if you disconnect the wiring at the sender the Fuel Gauge is supposed to go to FULL. Only when it's working correctly should it drop down to the correct fuel level. I'd call or look around about that though just to be sure but if it turns out that's correct you have a bad fuel gauge in the cluster.

Swapping the purple wires around will not accomplish anything. To rule out the Racetronix harness you can bypass it.
You might have damaged the level sender during your installation or the float arm might be caught on something.

Please email support@racetronix.com with the vehicle type and problem you are having. We can provide you with some simple tests to help isolate your problem.
