  • 96 GTI Fuel Gauge Problems

    I have a 96 GTI and the fuel light and the battery light always stay on and the fuel display always indicates empty. It just started doing this. Tank is full and battery is good. When I first put on the lanyard, all 4 lights come on and the fuel LCD bar lights for a few seconds as if normal. I tried the diagnostics and got 2 short beeps but the lanyard works fine. The manual is vague about the display. Should I be reading 0-90 ohms between the purple wire and the blue/black wire from the sending unit? If the sending unit is bad, what would cause the battery light to come on? If this all points to a bad display, how do you get it out? Thanks for your help.

    Everytime you install the lanyard or depress the start button, all of the idiot lights will come on for a few seconds to tell the idiots that they are functioning.

    Your Sending unit in the gas tank has taken a dump on you. Replace it.

      OK, thanks. What would be making the battery light stay on?

        The motor is not running. If it stays on with the motor running, the voltage is too low in the battery or your charging system needs repairing.
