    Hi

    I have a 93 VR wagon, the fuel sender has decided to go haywire, never giving a true reading. So its time to replace it.
    I want to know if it is possible to put a sender in that will get the fuel light working? Obviously I would have to get a sender that has this capability, and a bulb in the instrument panel but is this all I would have to do?

    Also can a VS sender be used? And can these be bought new?

    Any info would be great, thanks

    AFIK the low fuel level is operated by the BCM.

    93 VR sender will be different to a VS sender, the length from the plate that bolts to the tank and the pump is shorter in a VS (and later VR's), also the plugs and wiring is different.

    Are you 100% sure it's the sender causing the issue and not the wiring/plugs or the cluster?
