Everything you'll need is there.Does anyone have a diagram of the fuel gauge circuit?
Thanks lads.
The link should have gotten you a transfer. Since you have a cardisk, refer to "service mantual - wiring", page 314.I clicked on the link and all I got was a bunch of letters. I have the car disk, but it doesn't address the fuel gauge. To make matters worse, I took off the rear wheels while doing some work and found the wires from the ABS on the right rear are fried. Weird!
I too suspected a bad ground when you mentioned the burned wiring. Do check the resistance between the black wire at sender and the actual battery terminal. Having both a bad gauge and a bad light seems far-fetched for now. Either it's the ground, the sender or the wiring between sender and control panel. A multimeter is essential here, if you don't have one you're owing yourself one.G170 is under the right side vent and I opened it up and sprayed electrical contact cleaner in there, connected it and disconnected it several times. Still nothing. The only thing I can think of is a bad ground at the trunk terminal since the low level light doesn't come on either. Thanks for showing me the page. They call it a fuel quantity transmitter. I think they learned english at Walmart. We call it a fuel tank sender unit. Anyway thanks for pointing it out to me. Good advice!
My granfather was a mechanic. My father saw some of the greatest things Citroen made coming out: the DS, the CX, etc. He was always a big fan of Citroens, then he made friends with the local dealer. He was once offered to trade the Passat for a brand diesel XM, he sadly declined and bought the Mercedes a few years later. The Saxo is my sister's, it's the only troublesome Citroen we had. Fortunately we solved it's problems with an email directly to Paris. We did the same about the rusting on the Mercedes but they didn't even cared to reply.Yes, fortunately I have nothing to do with a diesel. So, it's the ground or the sender unit. My money is on the ground. Now, if I can figure out whats wrong with that bloody speedometer.....Wow! so many Citroens. I am partial to the 205s, but they are are all interesting cars. We don't see many here in the States.
Ground your purple wire at G170 and see if your fuel gauge needle pegs.Yes, fortunately I have nothing to do with a diesel. So, it's the ground or the sender unit. My money is on the ground.

It happens. I have broken one and even rebroken one that was reparied.I think she accidentally bumped into it or something. I didn't ask. she felt bad as it was.
