vw 73 super beetle mexican fuel level sender fixes

i identified my problems and fixed them. the quality of these mexican senders is sort of poor. once the issues were fixed, it now appears to be functioning closer to an nos german sender. issues were many but all were solvable with some bending and twisting. one thing i didn't account for was the voltage drop across the 15 or so feet of wire that i used to link the sender to the car's electrical system. the full tank reading is a bit too high. oh well.

My son and I are in the middle of this same project. You video is immensely helpful. Thank you.

How can you tell if it's the wiring or if it needs replaced? And if it's wiring, where do the wires connect to the back of the speedometer assembly

[@redshirt-scotty]

you need electric continuity through the wires of the circuit. if the sender won't flow electricity then it's the sender. other components can fail like the vibrator box, the gauge or the wiring. check thesamba for discussions, photos, and wiring diagrams.
