VDo Fuel Gauge

Make sure the white/black wire is connected to the sensor input on the gauge. The yellow wire is the low level light and is not used with the VDO gauge.

The Ohm values are close with the VDO gauge that I specd out for Vic. The gauge goes more than full scale at a full tank, and you have 5 gal left at E. Once you get to know the personality of the gauge, then you get more confident of it's reading.

Its been a while, but as I remember it, the Veglia sender in the Pantera fuel tank is 200 Ohms = empty, Zero Ohms = full. If that helps any.

I would presume that all of the VDO's use the same sender.
I have them and it works fine with the stock sender.
You might have a broken wire.

Thanks all.
I will be bringing it back to the garage with the info provided. I would have just bought a new sender but wanted to make sure there wasn't a "trick."

I read through prior posts and some folks mentioned taking out the side window to get to the sender. Don't really want to go that route.

If you plan on using the stock sender, you must match the VDO fuel gauge that work in the stock range. Check out http://www.egauges.com/VD2_main.asp. Someone on this forum posted this site before so I bookmarked it as it shows the spec for each vdo fuel gauge. The closest VDO fuel gauge ohm range is 240 - 33 ohms E/F. I suppose you can add a 33ohm resistor in series with the stock 200 - 0ohm E/F sender to get 233 - 33ohm E/F for a closer match.
Good luck

The VDO gauges that Hall Pantera sell are a direct replacement. That is where I got mine.
