 Posted: Fri Mar 23, 2007 12:34 pm Post subject: Replacing the lpg switch/gauge on my dash |
 |
|
Duel Fuel EL Falcon Gli, fitted with some aftermarket setup.
The meter on the dash is made of 4 green leds and 1 red one, but has long had problems with flickering on/off etc. Now it won't even light up at all.
On the unit in the dash it has 5 terminals: Ground, Sender, Petrol, Gas, 12v
And i have 4 wires, Brown, Red, White, and Red with a black stripe.
Is there any chance there's a wire gone missing or something? because 4 wires and 5 terminal is strange. which wires should hook-up to which terminals?
Is there any affordable way to simply replace this?
My friend has a tickford lpg system on his auIII that switches the petrol level over to gas when you switch.
I was considering a similar integration but would assume it'd be the more expensive path?
thankyou |

| Some switch/gauges are around $100. Dont know about the price for yours. I would have a good look for a loose wire before going further though. Which terminal is spare? |

| I have the same unit, with the 5 terminals, green leds and one red, etc. I also only have 4 wires on it - so that sounds right. |

Me 3, on the EF that is.
From memory the 5th is only a double terminal to the one next to it.
It would help knowing what area of Melb you are from so we could send you to someone close. |

whats the switch look like
is the style that goes in the dash on the same little panel as the demister or is it a little black box with a switch mounted separately onto the dash?
and i would say you would need all five wires for the switch to work right...
also if its just the guage playing up it could be the sender on the tank |

| u can interface it with your fuel gauge if u like .is it just up were your demister is? u just put a relay in your fuel gauge wire from your tank will try to get the wireing diagrame if u like. on any for before ba u can inteface the lpg gauge.u will need wire a new gas tank gauge to give it the same resistance as your fual gauge which is a 2- 176 and a 5 pin relay. |
