    Tsikot peeps, need your help here. My car is AE101 toyota. Last sunday, i disassembled my panel gauge to clean up pero di ko tinanggal yung mga needles. After cleaning, the temp , speedo, and rpm gauge work fine pero yung fuel ay nagloko. Before disassebly, the pointer is at 1/4 but after cleaning, it goes higher than 1/2 and it stays there. Nagkarga ako ng gas worth 500 from shell, tumaas siya hanggang full. nakakatakbo na ako about 86KM pero di pa rin bumababa. ANo kaya problema nito? need your inputs... Thanks a lot...

    The spring could be stuck. Try taking out the gauge cluster again and give it a vigorous shake.

    baka mayroon needle "zero" adjustment yung gauge at nagalaw mo....the fuel gauge is a voltmeter/resistance meter kasi and it does have a "zero" adjustment somewhere for calibration purposes.

    I've tried taking it off again pero wala naman siyang zero adjustment, wala din siyang spring.

    Happened to me. It turned out kinagat pala ng aso namin yung wire ng fuel tank sensor kaya laging nasa empty.
