OK guys first I consider myself to be a good wrench but this one has got me and my dealer. well about a month ago my fuel gauge stopped working on my fuel injected 2006 street glide. I swapped out the gauge with a new one and it still didn't work well my bike is still under extended warranty so I took it to the dealer they replaced the wiring harnessed because it showed signs of rubbing and some bare wires that still didn't fix the gauge today the dealer swapped the fuel sending unit and it still didn't fix the gauge! We are at a loss at what it could be. Here is what its doing the gauge is always on full, when you fill the tank up the low fuel light comes on and stays on till you run about a gal out of it, getting two code when you sweep the system first b1004 (fuel sending unit reading low) second code b1005 (fuel sending unit reading high) Does anyone have a clue to what could cause this?

 

Did you do any work behind your fairing that required disconnecting your fuel gauge wires? Seems like you may have some wires reversed either on the gauge or somewhere else in the circuit.

 

Ignore the gauge and use the trip meter like we did in the old days!

 

When my new'06 Road Glide was rolled off the floor,the guage did not work.
The dealer had to replace the sending unit in the tank.

 

when you pulled it out you didn't break the little arm that releases the float did you?

 

okay guys this one's really got me stuck it has brand new fuel gauge in it brand new sending unit and the fuel gauge runs through the speedometer so it has a brand new speedometer the sending unit oms right all the way through its travel but yet the gauge still does not work does anyone have a clue where to go next with this?

 

Have your dealer pull the Electrical Diagnostic Manual for 2006 Touring Models; open to Sec. 2.6; and, read the diagnostics for a faulty gauge--if he hasn't done so already (which he may have since there is a reference to ohm readings in your latest post).

Regret that I can't supply a better answer. Hope you get it fixed soon.

Picked this info from the electrical manual:
All you need is a multimeter

The fuel gauge is connected to +12 Volts, the float in the sending unit moves a variable resistor ranging between ground and +12 Volts.
The fuel gauge reads a voltage, so you should have a ground problem between the gauge and frame/harness.

Try measuring the sender alone, then where it connects to the gauge. The sender wire is the brown/green (BN/GN), the +12V is the orange (O)

 

I'm having the same issue with my 2009 Street Glide. What was the problem and has it been resolved? If so, what was needed to fix the issue. Thanks for your post.

 

In the old days we had a reserve
