I have a 93 SC300 and i know the fuel needle is suppose to stay where ever the fuel level was last at. My issue is that when i turn my car off or acc the needle will go all the way up as if full... anyone else run into this problem? possible fixes?
thanks

Swap your needles temperature to gas. I had this issue with my temperature needle it would do the same thing as soon as i took the key off the it would jump to the top. I replaced just the needle and it worked.

i do wonder however why they would do that... possibly different resistances (Ohms) that make the needles react differently... anyone have any thoughts on that?

I am going to the junk yard tomorrow, and getting a few parts for mine. Its a 1993 SC400. I can ask and see what he will charge and the mileage if you would like. PM me. I will also try and see the gauges light up. If not its a cheap fix. Ususally go for around 50 -100.
