Got the old new cluster today for $20.00 and the oil and temp sending units for $5.00

Installed everything powered it up, everything is working except the fuel guage is not accurate, my old guage showed 1/2 tank and the old new one shows between 3/4 and fuel.

I would like to know when you turn the key off is the gauge suppose to zero out?

My guage stays at the same place with the key on or off

Any suggestions??

 

was the cluster from the same year xj?

 

I have a 94 XJ the cluster came from a 93 XJ

 

arte you sure the old one was reading correct,dont think thet close of years would matter you no

 

pretty sure, and I know I do not have more than 3/4 of a tank of gas.

 

when you put the new clucter in was the gauge on zero did you notice

 

It was not on zero, I believe it was between empty and half

 

maybe thats the problem it might its thinking that reading was empty

 

Yeah, I was thinking tomorrow ill take the plastic cover off and move the needle, see if I can "reset" it, its not like I'm gonna break it

 

thats what id do cant hurt

 

hey im thinking about doing this to my 89 xj. i was wondering about the mileage counter can you change it yourself? i only have 94k miles on mine and would like it to be correct. any thoughts? and how hard was it to sawp it out?
