So my fuel gauge always displays tank as full after a hit to the side last year, I bought a new fuel pump module thinking a new one would fix the issue but after going to the auto place to get a quote the guy said its unlikely that it is the module but rather the wire that runs from the tank to the cluster inside has been squashed or something and that i should check that first. Does anyone know where this wire is? he said it might run along the chassis then go up into the interior under the floor skirts somewhere? some help would be great so i don't have to jack it up and start taking wheels off.

Cheers
Josh

If that's the case I'd be looking around the spot the car took the hit for a crushed or broken wire.
Or if you've had a panel beater working on your car to check he's remembered to reconnect the wire at the tank.
How hard was the hit?

This diagram should give you a start at least.

The hit was pretty hard, was a 50km zone but i swear she was going 70. had to get a new door and K frame etc. that diagram is really confusing :/ cant find it tho, will jack the car up when i have some spare time or just sell it as it is

F,g,h, i,j. Is inside the boot against the rear seat way , I'd be looking where the loom goes through the boot floor to the top of fuel pump for a wire cut or damaged .

Definetly sounds like the sender wire has been crushed against the body. They're a resistance based to ground circuit. The lower the resistance to ground the more fuel in the tank. A dead short to earth will show full.

Ok yeah seems like it is on the module, strange that only 1 got squashed not any others because it still runs perfectly. Cheers guys much appreciated
