javigtr Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Hello family, Could someone tell me how to connect the Westfield electronic fuel gauge? It has three cables, black (to chassis I guess), green/black and the last one is green. I have tryed few combinations but with no success. Thanks http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn26/barketero/2011-03-07181707.jpg Quote
Hammy Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Green is usually ign switched live, black is earth so the other must be the sender ? Quote
javigtr Posted March 9, 2011 Author Posted March 9, 2011 Green is usually ign switched live, black is earth so the other must be the sender ? Thanks Hammy, I will try it again. I think that problem could be in an inappropiate resistance from the level sender I have fitted. I will try with other models. Anybody could tell me what's the stock sender from factory ? (VDO ?......) Thanks Javier Quote
jim_l Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Is it working at all? ie giving the wrong readings rather than not reading at all? With a sender/gauge mismatch you will normally get some reading, even if it is inverted. If it is not reading at all your first stop is a wiring problem. Quote
tex Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 black / green is sender black to earth green to switched ignition guage uses a VDO sender if i remember rightly. i had one fitted - it was pants (sorry, but too inaccurate and the LED's fall out of the black plate they are fitted into - care required) i would check your earths first - fuse ok?

javigtr Posted March 14, 2011 Author Posted March 14, 2011 Green/black to sender, black to earth and green to + Empty tank........all leds on Full tank............. all leds on Green/black to + , black to earth and green to sender Empty tank.........Just a green led on Full tank.............Just the same green led on I should replace my ATL sender. Probably the impedance is out of range. Quote

Probably the impedance is out of range. i would guess the impedence is not matching. sure they use VDO senders. i had the same led one and changed it to a racetech guage - had to swap the vdo to racetech black / green is defo the signal wire black - earth green - power [switched via ignition - you dont want it on all the time or it will flatten battery] Quote
javigtr Posted March 15, 2011 Author Posted March 15, 2011 Mmmm...thanks Tex. I will try with a VDO unit. Quote
