take the wire off the sensor then earth it out on the engine and put your ignition on. if the gauge goes up then you know that the sensor is broken

£5
Touch the wire to ANY earth, i.e. anywhere on the engine, inlet etc.

Is your fuel gauge working?
I think fuel and coolant gauges share the same fuse.
The coolant gauge itself might be fooked.

yeh the fuel guage works fine so does that mean i will have to have the hassle of taking the clocks out to replace it then?
