RH Exmo fuel sender location and access.

[twinturbo]

My Freshly aquired Exmo has 3 issues.

Alternator Light on and no charge

Temp guage seesm dead

Fuel Guage seems dead.

It looks to be using a MK1 Sierra dash  in stock form ( actualy not sure I have seen a base level MK1 dash before ) .

 

So where is the fuel sender usualy on an EXMO and how can I getr to it?

 

Cheers

Alternator light on no charge = dead alternator most probably brushes and slip rings oxidized due to long lay up.

If made with cut down sierra dash (instruments showing in dash between seats) then also oxidization of multi plug a possibility. Try squirting switch cleaner over contacts whilst connecting and disconnecting plug several times.

Fuel tank is across back of car. Filler is on right side into top and sender is on left hand side also on top. To get at drop tank. Be careful removing sender as resealing can be hard. Filler is cut down sierra into standard sierra rubber gasket/sealing ring.

 

Where are you?

Cheers Ian, I was planning a dose of contact cleaner in the alternator as a first port of call on that one. 

Will have a hunt under the dash to see if I can reach the multiplug.  I am used to Temp/Fuel not working as my Z3 has random guages , but the Z3 I am sure the dooling system is good.

 

I am in Carlisle.

Further to the fuel sender.

The top of the tank can be reached by removing the boot lining. How to line the boot was left to the imagination of the builder so every one will be different.

Yeah, I would put in an inspection hatch.... The car is fairly well built by the Original owner who IIRC had done a couple of prior builds.

As you have 2 issues based around gauges, then it could be the dash, so before dropping the tank, I would locate the temp sender in the engine bay & short out the wire to ground. With your ignition on your temp gauge should read HOT!! If you can locate the fuel sender wire grounding that out should make the gauge show FULL! If neither of these happen, fault the dash first.
