2006 100 series, 220K miles (AHC) fuel guage stuck on empty when truck is full. Had it in to the dealer who have diagnosed a faulty combi meter in the instrument cluster. They cannot find the replacement part, I called every scrap yard and searched online Toyota parts places with no luck except one place in CA who want over $1000 for the part. My only hope will be a forum such as this with someone parting out the vehicle. Just throwing it out there as a long shot or if anyone knows of another resource.

Thanks.
 
I’ve never used one but I know there are numerous shops that specialize in instrument cluster repair.
 
06-07LC w/ AHC is a bit of a rare bird. Everybody wants them but over time, they will be the most difficult (relatively speaking) to source the specific parts.
 
I have the same issue on my 2004. I've heard good things about Tanin, but they are asking $700 for the repari, so i've lived with a non-working gas gauge for 4 years.

Keeps you on your toes for sure
 
Did "Dealer", just make the call. Or did they actually test the circuit. Which a big part of, is making sure fuel pump assembly is sending signal.

they checked the pump, sending unit and removed the dash to come to that conclusion.
 
Quick update, after scouring the web and scrap yards and not finding anything I decided to go the repair route. I found a specialty shop in Toronto that does only dashboard cluster repair and shipped it off to them. They tested it for 4 hours and sent me back a video showing that it was in perfect working order, nothing ever wrong with it. I emailed the dealer explaining the findings along with attached invoices for shipping and diagnostic with the expectation they'll cover those costs - it's now with the service manager so waiting to hear.

So what's the issue if it's not the fuel pump, sending unit or instrument cluster? Wiring maybe?
 
could be the sending unit, but these units especially from 2004, are known to have failing "stepper motors" , causing the gauge needed to not move like it should

would the instrument cluster shop not have identified that if it was the issue?
