Quote On Broken Items On Ke30

[Corolla KE30]

Hey, i just bought a 1975 KE30 2 Door, and i have found a few things wrong with it, which i need to fix, and was wondering on price and where abouts to get them fixed...

 

Firstly, the fuel gauge doesn't work, how much and where?

 

The lights in my dash don't light up? Headlights and everything else works...again, how much and where?

 

Any help would be great..

 

Thanks, Dion

VERY hard question to answer - we don't know your level of "get dirty and do stuff" potential ...

 

here's what I would do:

 

if you've got multiple problems with the dash (fuel gauge + lights), it's likey to be an "in-dash" problem.

 

step 1: hope theat the fuel gauge issue is the dash and not the sender.

step 2: check all fuses.

step 3: pull the dash out.

step 4: explore potential earthing issues.

step 5: check dash light circuits and fuel gauge circuits.

step 6: if that didn't fix the gauge, go to u-pull it and find a KE3x - then u-pull the fuel gauge from the dash and the fuel level sensor for good measure ... price: who knows?

step 7: stick the replacement sensor in the dash.

step 8: stick the level sensor in the fuel tank if required.

 

price for all this: a decent chunk of your time + whatever u-pullit charge you + miscellaneous connectors, solder etc.

 

 

 

 

OR - as previously suggested, go to an auto-electrician and get your wallet ready :)

 

 

 

cheers,

If you pull the wire off the fuel tank sender unit, and earth it, get someone to check (while you earth it) if the gauge goes all the way to full. If it does, then its you sender unit.

 

Ditto your temp sender in the engine. Earth the wire, and if it goes straight to hot, its the sender.
