1984 Dual fuel tank wiring question

Apr 18, 2008 5 Replies

My son removed a defective drivers side fuel tank a while ago. I am trying to put a new one back in.



Question I have is the tank on the drivers side has a ground wire, and a wire that connects to the sending unit. Those two I can figure out.



There are two additional wires hanging there that go where? Both are an Orange or Red color, and one has a white tracer.



My son does not remember the wires, and he is across country now.



I believe there is just the two wires needed for the tank sending unit, but am not sure about the other two wires.



Anyone???


You know I have been in the same position exactly. Installed a new tank on the passenger side where one had been removed and the wires cut by a previous owner. The box is still off and the wires now are covered with split-loam so I can't figure it out for you. I figured it out before but it took loots of trial and error and plenty of work with a volt meter to get it right.

Anyone with the box back on has no chance to help you unless they have a photgaphic memory. You can always try a gas tank shop.

If you want to post the vin,

I have my older MOD, and the wiring in that includes the dual tanks.

Let me know.

Hi Bill:

Thank you for the reply, I'll look the diagram up and e-mail it to you later today.

Thank you,
