Ground points

caligarinet · Dec 15, 2006

Hi can anyone point me in the right direction to find my ground points?

Particulary the one that acts as ground to the fuel guage\oil temp and water temp.

All these guages failed on me this morning, check ground continuity between all guages which was ok.

Traced it back to a bullet connector, still continuity ok.

Then the wire just disappears into the abyss, and haven't a scooby where to start looking for the other end.

Could always run another ground, if all else fails.

Thanks

not sure where the fuel sender earths to but it earths via the gauge so you need to find the earth to the instrument cluster, oil/water temps are earthed via the senders on the engine, I'd start by checking the ignition feed if you have multiple gauge failure

now sorted, thank you for advice. It was indeed the ignition supply.
