Re: Fuel Gauge Woes

I tested the sender post and realized I had power on it with it unhooked (the case doesn't have power running through it). I then pulled the little white plastic piece off and replaced with 2 rubber washers and this cured my power to the sender post. I tested all 3 wires and had power on the power wire and ground on the ground wire and sender wire. Lastly, I put a pure ground wire to the sender post (leaving the power/ground wires hooked) and the gauge did nothing. I have 65 ohms across the power/sender posts and nothing on the sender to ground and power to ground. I am thinking that (highly coincidentally) during the rewire my gauge died out on me? I do not see anything incorrect about my wiring and since the needle does not move with (looking at the back) 12V to right post, ground to bottom post, and ground to left (sender) post that the gauge must not be working.
