Hi all,
This is my first post and my first disco. So, I'm a little green but have loved learning about it!
Either way, I'll just start from the top. My 97 disco SE and I were heading back from fishing when I started to notice my fuel gauge was reading less and less fuel. Now I know this beast doesn't get great mileage but I shouldn't have been out of fuel that quickly. So I pulled into a gas station just to top it off so I could use mileage if the gauge was total gone. Filled up, gauge indicated empty and fuel light was one. Headed home and all was my new normal, then about 10 minutes from home I noticed my battery light was on and that my RPM gauge had gone dead. Figured the heat had screwed with something (since I live in AL and it's a million degrees outside). Optimistic, I know.... Regardless, let it sit all yesterday afternoo/night and drove it this morning, same thing. So my easy fix was null....has anyone else had similar issue so realize no way fm these are a all linked or if they're separate? I know those wires to the fuel gauge get old and warn over time and eventually fail, I just have no clue where to start given the light and RPMs not working. Any guidance is appreciated ! Thanks!!
