Technical Petrol guage reads full with ignition off

[Derek Cook]

Hi,

I noticed tonight that when I turn the ignition off on my newly acquired 52 plate Scudo that the fuel gauge goes to full and not empty, which surprises me. Is it meant to do this, or is it the sign of a problem somewhere?

I think I have a blown fuse on the permanent 12V feed that I need to check out on the weekend as the courtesy light, clock and radio aren't working - first noticed this morning although they were fine on the weekend.

Dunno if that is related or not to the gauge query? Speedo and temperature gauge and other dash indicators all appear to be working fine.

Cheers
Derek

Update: I found the blown fuse (hidden behind the glove box!!) and replaced it and all is fine again.

Interestingly the fuel gauge is now behaving normally as well, so it was related!

Cheers
Derek

Wat was the fuse number?

Dunno, I just went through them all with a continuity tester until I found one that was open circuit.
