I've finally gotten to the point where I decided I need to do something about my instrument cluster on my '89 744t.
About 2 months ago, my fuel level gauge never returned to full after a fill up. For some time before this incident, it would often stick around at the old fuel level and make its way to full or near full during the drive home.
Does that sound like a stuck fuel level sender? I am thinking if it were wiring, it would be stuck at dead empty rather than a quarter tank it's been stuck at. Is it easy to r&r a fuel level sender on these cars, and from where is it accessed?
In addition to this problem, both the odometer and trip meter don't work. Just great for knowing when to fill up. However, my speedo does work just fine. Do the odo. + trip meter work off of the speedo input, meaning it may be a gear break or something of the like?
Oh, also the gauges suffer from needing the old Volvo-gauge-flick, but that doesn't bother me..
So, what should I look into doing? I likely need a replacement fuel level sender for one, but I have no idea what to do about the odometer and trip meter. Send it for repair, try to do it myself, or replace it altogether?
Thanks.
