L2600 Gauges Help

[TX Ags]

Id like to fix the fuel and temp gauges on my L2600. The fuel gauge sometimes work but reads empty most of the time. The temp gauge doesnt work at all. Where should I start? Fuel sending unit? Temp sending unit? Test the gauges? Thanks!

Look at your wiring. May have a broke or chewed up wires. Start with the simple stuff first that doesn't cost you money.

Looked for a WSM for the L2600 and can't find one.

Four things to check:
Fuel level sendsor and fuel gauge.
Temperature sensor and temperature gauge.

And bulldog is right about wires and dirty connectors.

Using the WSM I would check the gauges first. Disconnect the connector to the temperature sensor and the fuel level sensor. Red ohmmeter probe on single wire and black probe on ground. Both gauges should show some continuity.

Coolant temperature sensor. Red probe on sensor terminal and black probe to ground. A guess at room temperature would be 150 to 200 ohm.

Fuel sensor red probe on terminal and black probe on ground. Empty tank about 100 ohms and full tank about 5 ohms (guesses).

Probably wiring or sensors, let us know.

You need a multimeter to measure resistance of the temp sensor and the fuel sender.
You do not need an expensive one.

If it is a electronic gauge panel and ends up that is what is broken, you may be able to have it repaired. Search online for automotive dash repair shops.
