Why is my fuel gauge not working on my Harley Davidson?
You already know you have power to the gauge because the indicator changes when you turn the ignition on and off. As others have suggested, the float could be hanging up and lastly, the sending unit could be shorted out (not open or the gauge wouldn’t move).
What kind of gas Guage does a 04 Softail have?
My 04 softails gas guage shows full no matter how much gas is in it. I tried to do the forum search function and had no luck. I also could not find anything in my manual on trouble shooting the problem.
What should I do if my gas gauge is not working?
Note that some self-test steps may stop the gas gauge at 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4, as well. Fuel sender test. The fuel sender test should be conducted when the tank is lower than HALF, to prevent fuel splashing. Start by making sure the plug is clean, dry, and free of corrosion. Make sure the pins are straight and that the connector is fully seated.
Why does my fuel Guage float keep hanging up?
I believe in 2004 there was a technical service bulletin (TSB) about the guage float hanging up inside the fuel tank. I also believe it’s due to the float sticking on something inside the tank and a simple Dremel/grind on the float stopped it from happening.

Why does my gas gauge keep pegging full?
The gas gauge might interpret voltage feedback from a dead sender as FULL or EMPTY, consequently pegging the gauge no matter the actual fuel level. Circuit Problems can cause the gas gauge to stop functioning normally.
What’s the fuel resistance on a Harley Davidson?
As the float moves up and down with fuel level, resistance changes, resulting in a change in current to the gauge, reflected as fuel level. Low resistance for full, high resistance for empty. On mine, the manual indicates 40 ohms for full, 250 ohms for empty.
Why does my Harley Davidson have no fuel pump?
If battery static volts measure 11.6v or less with the ignition on the ECM won’t energize the system. am not getting any voltage at the 15 amp fuse at key on, also have battery charger on while testing. engine cranks at good speed. are there more powers and grounds at the battery then just the main positive and negative battery cables?

Why does my fuel gauge keep bouncing on my Road King?
A bouncing gauge will be the result of fuel sloshing in the tank more so than the gauge itself. This is my first time on this site so I’m not sure how to post, but I have a problem in this area. The fuel gauge on my 98 road king classic is not working properly. It reads full all the time and the light comes on at 1/2 full.
