  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Fuel RESERVE LED FAIL

Hey! I have an TE 450 (2009) and my `fuel reserve` led is always on, on my bord. I checked the wirings-seems to be ok, fuel pump working fine. Anyone with helpfull ideas? Thanks a lot.

The fuel reserve light often fails, but not in the same way yours is. Our fuel pumps were known to have the low fuel sensor wire snap in the fuel pump itself. Maybe yours is shorting out?

Its pretty easy to get to the fuel pump to have a look. Empty and remove the fuel tank, flip it over and then it is only a matter of 6 or so bolts and a viton/rubber seal. Just be careful of not ripping anything out when you take the pump out, stuff hits the sides of the tank when you take it out.

Also beware of spinning the bolts in the inserts when refitting the pump and seal.
 
Yah my orange wire came off on my 08 TE450 and would never give me the low fuel light. Funny things happen on these at times so do as duggeoy pointed out and remove the pump to check out that end.
 
Mine on my 2011 TE310 isn't reliable but it always seams to fail in the low setting which has caused me to run out of gas on a 480 mile trail ride. Haven't dug into it so can't really be much help but it does sound like you have a short somewhere.
 
Today I remove my pump but i didnt find anything.....i tried with a brand new pump....the led is still On...i got angry...:)....then i put a black adhesive tape from inside on that fck. led.......but this is not an ideal solution......
 
post some pictures if you can. I would think if you replaced the pump then it's either the cable of the computer. The cable should be easy to trouble shoot because it's only looking for continuity. The computer is gonna be a little more difficult unless you have a friend with one you can swap out and try. Either way I would be looking into a trail tech or something else if it's the computer the stock one isn't very useful.
 
No problem. Just make sure you do as mototomer suggests and first check that the light stays on when your fuel pump is unplugged. It'll save you having to cut open your harness.
 
Fuel light has never worked on my 511, I don't give it much thought anymore and just go off the trip meter, unless the dash resets after a stall :thinking:
 
finally i found it: like you said AndrewS, the resistor leg was broken. Thx again AndrewS.
PS. (it was an 11 ohm resistor)
 
You're welcome! Glad you found it. Pretty annoying place to have it.

Unless yours is different, it should actually be a 110 ohm. Brown-Brown-Brown.
