[QUOTE="Araon, post: 30281, member: 606"] You've definately got a short somewhere possibly at the dash pod- you have two connectors with fibre insulators check the condition of those (aahhh bug- trying to think now and i cant remember if its the same/similar set up). But the fact thats its registering full will indicate a return path to earth through the meter so thats yer problem either within the meter or the wire to the sender or the sender potentiometer is short (already discounted). 1 disconnect the wire to the sender at the meter whats it showing then short that meter connection to the chassis. 2 crack the meter open and visually check for short cct. 3 hand trace the wire "again" paying particular attention to areas where it crosses panel joints etc...
