Re: Gas guage in RW 429

Do both of them not work? We have a CY 4007 & I had to replace the gauge on the inside. The gauge on the outside still worked though. I did some trouble shooting and found the gauge to be INOP. Heartland sent me a new one and wanted the old one back. The sending units on ours are potted and do not have the traditional wire on the top with a nut holding the wire terminal. If both of yours are INOP, I suggest looking for a loose wire. When you pull the panel on the inside where the fuel gauge is located (to expose the rats nest of wiring), you can see the wires that run to the fuel gauge and the switch. There are a few wires that are crimped together. Maybe try to wiggle or move them around while holding the switch. If you are proficient with a multimeter, you can do some additional testing.

Mine was intermittent until it finally bit the dust. When your gauges were not working, did you verify that both were not working? Even the gauge at the fuel station? Also, do you have a multimeter for testing when it stops working again?
