Checked power to the new regulator? Fuse blown? Connections bright and tight? Good grounds? Lots of possibilities. Good luck. DanJunior Knight wrote:new fuel gauge,new regulater on the back of cluster,wired right, i am at a wall...none of the others are doing right....

Re: still having trouble with gauges working right..
How about grounds at the sensors? Especially the fuel tank. Rust between the tank and straps messes the ohms up. Missing/corroded battery negative to body frame and cab? Bad ground in the dash?
Like my Aircraft Technical Systems E/E instructor told me 40 years ago, "Power is switched on and off, but ground is forever or else the pilot is put under it!".

Re: still having trouble with gauges working right..
