Bulletin No.: 73-83-22
Date: October, 1997
Subject:
Erratic Fuel Gauge Readings
(Repair Pinched Wires)
Model:
1997 Chevrolet Corvette
Condition
Some owners may comment on erratic readings from the fuel gauge.
Cause
The sender wires from either tank may be trapped under the fuel or evaporator lines where the lines route between the body and the frame rail in the rear.
Correction
Inspect the area above for pinched wires. If the wires do not move freely, they may be pinched. The harness is # 1 in Figure 1.
Repair the wires as necessary. Make sure that the wires are properly routed, and move freely, to insure that they will not be pinched in the future. It may
be necessary to remove one or both fuel tanks for access to this area. If so, follow the procedures on Page 6-970 in the Service Manual.
