Re: Fuel gauge reads too high.
What the gauge reads and/or where it "settles" with the ignition switch turned to OFF is of no consequences. No voltage is applied to the circuit anywhere, so ignore the OFF reading.. Responding to fuel levels, no matter the accuracy indicates all wiring and components are intact.. The symptoms you have are classic gauge resistor failure. The resistor is a rectangular item attached across 2 terminals on the back of the gauge.. It can't be checked in place, so remove it before testing.. The resistance should be in the 85 - 90 ohm range.. Any other value indicates the resistor has changed value and must be replaced..
