Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Towbar,Fuel Gauge help

« on: 11 June 2008, 21:27:59 »

Thanks very much I was tapped onto a fuel sender wire. for info it was Black/blue which i had connect my Blue(fogs) onto. As my trailer isn't posh enough to have these i never picked it up. i have just snipped it off i'll find right wire someother time.

took the wiring info off the thread below great help but there must be slight changes with the loom.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Towbar,Fuel Gauge help

« on: 10 June 2008, 14:01:59 »

I know that towbar wiring has been done to death in this section as i have read most it and used advice already given. Anyway i think this is a new one. I am sure i i will be advised otherwise if not.

i couldn't find the elufsive( good spelling?) plug under the back boot cover so i have scotched blocked. Tested the lights on trailer all work no problem there. The only problem is is when i plug the trailer in the fuel gauge stops working and i lose the range on the computer. I have tried swoping the earth around. fuel gauge still won't work when connceted to trailer but petrol lamp flashes. tried earthing straight to chassis light still flashed gauge not working when connected got fed up with it left earh from tow plug off petrol pump still flashing.

is there a magic fix or is it multiplex interface plug time?

?

Thanks for your time

If you are running the car near on empty. The fuel pick up pipe/filter could well have got clogged up with all the shit that usally acumilates in the bottom of the tank, then the more you turn it over the more shit
is pulled. Topping up with fuel and leaving it for awhile allows the crap(if you are lucky as you were) to drop off. Good reason to stay above the red.

Hello Hi wotcha Good Morning Afternoon Evening Or Night whatever suits. Site Looks great already helped me out loads. As i must be the unlukiest car owner going. I own a 1998 2.5 tourer estate full serv hist. Had it a month and the water pump disintergrated on me in the alps cooked the engine both head gasketts needed changing plus heads skimming and a few other minor melted bits and bobs, which i have now done.( Thank God for AA euro cover) car seems ok now but i think a bit under powered at low revs still checking for air leaks. hopefully i will get it sorted soon.
