my problem is that I need to replace the fuel guage on my 2007 Softail Custom, does anyone know:

do you have to remove the tank to reattach the wires to the wiring harness ?

or can you use the existing hole on top of the fuel tank to reach the wiring harness ?

last one, does the wires connecting the fuel gage just plug into the wiring harness ?

I am a novice and thank you for any help at all ....

 

It is a real pain but you can get to the conector and unplug it under the tank then remove the pins from the conector and pull them up through the hole in the tank. Just make sure you insert the new wires right so the colors match (black, orange, and yellow).

Simple. Unplug the connector from the fuel gauge under the tank. Plug in the new fuel gauge.

 

my 07 has the plug under the tank and the hole is large enough to just pull thru

 

Are you sure it is the gage and not the sender? My gage on my 2010 Heritage is not accurate and the dealer is replacing the fuel sender in the tank on Monday. And they claim that the fuel gage problem was fixed on the 2010 models. ???

 

Now that would be nice.
