I'm looking for someone to talk me out of my suspicion that my gauge is bad. I sure hope I'm wrong.
The problem: Gauge is on E but I know I have almost a half tank of gas.
Here's what I've done so far and the results:
Disconnected tan wire coming from gauge to sending unit . Gauge goes to F.
Grounded the sending wire to the frame. Gauge goes to E.
Removed power/sending connection from back of gauge. Tan wire read 38 ohms of resistance -- reasonable as 45 would have indicated half full. Reconnected gauge.
Jumped a ground direct from battery to back of gauge housing as well as left post. No movement in gauge.
Removed sending/pickup assembly from tank. Tested 90 ohms at full, 0 ohms at empty.
What have I missed?
Any help would be appreciated.
