Happy Memorial Day fellow IML members! I took my ’55 out for a drive this morning and
discovered that my gas gauge is no longer working. It was buried all the
way down past “E”. I drove at top speed to the Mobil and
topped her off with 13.0 gallons of 93 octane, hoping this would jar loose a
sticky sending unit float- no go (my mileage on this last Tank was 11 mpg,
around average). The gauge still read E. I found this strange
because I had the car out for several trips yesterday and the gauge was working
fine. I replaced the sending unit after I bought the car- early in
’05- and it has worked fine since. Is it possible this sending unit
“sank”, or should I be looking elsewhere for the cause? Also, a fellow motorist pointed out to me that my reverse
lights are always on. I move the shifter around and ended up just
removing these bulbs. They worked fine yesterday. I have spent a lot of time getting everything 100%
operational on my Imperial since I bought her- radio, windows, light switch,
cigar lighter- and I would like to keep everything fully operational. Any
help/guidance/tips on these matters would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Jim Poltrock ’55 sedan 42k miles Wisteria blue over Rhapsody blue |
