I refitted a 914 fuel level sender to my car today - it came with an aftermarket sender and gauge - and hooked it up to a 50mm VDO fuel gauge in the dash. The gauge has no low fuel warning light so I'm trying to figure out if I can wire up a separate LED to do the same job.
How does the original light work, I know it connects to the gauge via the black wire but does it also take power from the fuel gauge? Whoever wired the aftermarket gauge/sender butchered the harness at both ends cutting the black warning light wire to use as the gauge to sender wire (???), so I can't just unplug and replug. Thanks John |
