Hi there i have just put my dash back in and have noticed that fuel gauge isent working stuck on half, and my speedo has stopped working but that wasent working befor the dash come out has anybody had this problem or someone know whats wrong thanks

Don't have a clue how to fix it but there are loads of second had clocks on parts for sale £10 upwards and it could be a swap of the dial.

I assumed you have wired it up right!

Is it the same fuel gauge, that used to work properly, or have you fitted a different one?

no its the same one i havent noticed it untill today its been of the road for about 3 weeks

ive tryed my mates clocks but it still does the same

What model and age of car? Or what fuel tank does it have?

its a e reg 325i

Take out the rear seat base, remove the RH inspection cover, and pull off the plug to the level sender.
Does that send the gauge to zero?

yes ive tryed that and it went to zero and when i plugged it back in the warning light is on now

How much fuel is actually in the tank? Does filling the tank make the gauge go to full?

It goes to full when i fill it but stops on half.

Either you have the wrong fuel gauge for your tank (6 pot gauge with a 4 pot tank), or one of the senders, in a tank with two senders, is stuck in the full position.

How do i check that then mate

Take out the rear seat base, and take off the two inspection covers.
Is there a level sender under each one?
Do you have an electrical test meter?
Do you know what a resistor is and/or do you have any?

I can get a test meter but i havent got a clue what a resistor is lol
