<DIV><FONT size=2>Having both fuel and temp gauges out does point to the common
factor of the stabiliser, but there are tests to confirm this and other causes
before replacing parts.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>With both of them if you connect a good earth to the
signal wire on the sender - green/black for the fuel gauge and green/blue for
the temp, the gauge should go to full scale deflection.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>If it does then certainly the temp sender is the culprit, but
for the fuel sender you also need to check the earth at the sender as that can
also be a cause. If a good earth causes full scale, but bridging the earth
and signal terminals (or the body and the signal terminal for 77 and later) on
the sender doesn't, then the earth is at fault which pre-77 comes from a
number-late bolt on the rear panel, 77 and later through the
physical mountings to tank and body. If both cause full scale then
it's the sender.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>But if none of these cause full scale then the problem lies
closer to the gauge and stabiliser.</FONT></DIV>
