Hamish - you are the best ! After soldering these points as you shown it ,my fuel gauge works like new. Even the reserve lamp works fine at all on my left hand drive Hilux xtra cab 2014 in Germany. Thank you so much.
Had this issue for about a year on my 2013 Toyota Innova.The instrument cluster is the same as that on the hilux and fortuner. The dealership quoted about $1000 here in india to replace the whole instrument cluster. Couldn’t find any shops near me willing to do the job. After a year of using trip meter to estimate fuel level and running out of fuel a few times, i made up my mind to do it myself and now the fuel gauge works perfectly. Thank you
Gidday Hamish, great to see a kiwi lad solved this. The exact same thing happened to me today in my 2015 Hilux. The Fuel gauge showed circa 1/4 a tank and 105 km range. I ran out. I'll give this a go to solve the problem. Appreciate your video. Cheers, Mark. Christchurch.
I’ve explained the problem to Toyota & with out looking at my Hilux they quoted me $2500 & want my truck for a week ..😅 Thanks mate definitely will give a go !
This same malfunction happened to my 2014 Toyota Fortuner at 109,000 km. Had to have the instrument cluster replaced as I couldn't find anyone to repair it. At 165,000 km the symptoms reappeared. This time the sending unit in the tank had to be replaced. Seems that both types of malfunction are commonplace in Fortuner/Hilux of this vintage.
Thanks for this, I had the 1/4 tank,no fuel problem a few months ago and finally researching what the issue might be. I was going to start looking at the fuel tank,😅 this has probably saved me hours of work.

Perfect. Thanks so much. This was a very easy fix for an issue I’ve had for months.
Did you soldering it yourself
Do you think a person with no soldering experience could do it

What about for a 2012 (KUN25R) hilux, The circuit board is different
Are you sure? They should be the same? Has it happened to your 2012?
No need to change the resistor?
sir you just soldered them Or did any resistance change also
Just re solder, no resistors we’re changed. If you take it into a Toyota dealer I’ve been told they do it for free 🤙🏼
R308 and R309 was it Sep 2023 when you solder 1 leg it falls off meaning the other side off, lost 2x needle widths of fuel after.
me sirvio gracias
