first check that the 12 volt switched power line actually has power when you turn on key, check the ground at the gauge, make sure it is a good clean ground, then check continuity on sender wire. if not good, replace wire, check ground at tank, also needs to be good clean ground. if you are getting a signal from the sender wire back to gauge and nothing works, and have checked the rest, probably a bad gauge. it is possible to kill one right off the bat if your connections are wrong.

What ?
that ground not being there is the common thing to all of the items you say are not working in the original gauge cluster. what is frustrating me is that with all this advice we are giving is that it seems you are not doing your part of actually testing the circuits in your car. there is no magic fix, just testing things one at a time.

Just got my car running and my Equis gas gauge reads 3/4 full when tank is full even with supposedly comparable sender unit. Just thought I'd toss that out as I promised a review to someone, I think you. Good luck finding the problem
