You can test it your self. It is usually one of three things:

1. Bad 'sender' (sensor) which is in the fuel tank

2. Bad gauge in the dash

3. Bad wiring


Does the Temperature gauge work OK?

Hi ddgonzal

Temperature sensor is working fine but not fuel sensor, what adjustment neeeded to be checked from the dash board side ?

Thanks

Start with check in the boot, at the fuel tank. This should be very easy with a Sedan.

1. Pull the Fuel sensor wire off at fuel tank
2. Ground/earth the wire
3. Turn IGN switch on and observe gauge:

* Gauge goes to Full. Bad sender. Replace it.

* Gauge still dead. It is not caused by fuel sender. Check for loose wiring, at back of dash, or at dash wiring harness connectors. If you don't spot the problem, remove dash/cluster gauge and test gauge directly.

Hi ddgonzal

I have done a wiring job recently i could not fix all the dash board gauge, is it possible for me to fix those gauge wiring by my self, i am not a mechanical person , how is it difficult task or easy task ?

Thanks

It is not normally repaired, but instead replaced. I have no experience in trying to fix a bad gauge.

If a wire is broken, you may be able to solder it as a repair.

Hi ddgonzal

As you said I checked my Fuel Sensor it is gone, are those available to buy or can i fit another fuel sensor , is it common or datsun specific sensor ?

Thanks

It is very specific to B210 sedan. Coupe is probably different.

Sunsmith-
What do you mean fuel sensor is gone? Have you removed it and checked the variable resistor?

Hi LONGBROW

as ddgonzal said i checked the fuel sensor gauge, as he sais the sensor went to top means bad sensor or loose wire connection

Thanks
