Hi All,

I have a 53 plate 1.4 HDI.

The problem I am having is that the fuel gauge is not working and the fuel light is always on.

If I lift my back seats and give the cables connected to the fuel pump a wiggle, it used to work and the fuel gauge would go up to show how much is left. but would never re-set after filling up again. Now that doesn't reset it.

I thought is was the pump at first until discovering that playing with the cables reset it so now I don't really know. It could just be a faulty cable.

Anyone ever know or had this issue before?

Also, does anyone know where I can find a new cable from?

I can not find the cable anywhere online, or it could be that I don't know what I am looking for.

Thanks
BG

Seems to me that when you are, tugging and playing around with the cable, it is a bad connection inside the connector itself, take the connector off, and give a good clean, the copper connectors can become a bit green and mouldy looking.

Thanks Drewden, I'll give it a go later. Can anyone recommend the best way to clean connectors? I'm sure I read somewhere a certain spray is best.
