Seeking any thoughts on why my fuel gauge won't work.
The Facts:
- 1962 300 Sport
- Astradome fully restored probably 25 years ago
- Car has sat for last 8-10 years
- Pulled tank to clean it out & discovered the sending unit pipe IN was separated from its sending unit housing, so...
- New Vans Auto Sending Unit installed a month or so go
- There is approximately 6 gallons in the tank
The Diagnostics:
- Test Light illuminates at Sending Unit; so there is power to the wire
- Test Light illuminates at power wire feed to gauge as well
- Sending Unit has Ohm reading at Sending Unit
- Fuel Gauge has Ohm reading as well
- Running an external jumper wire from the body of the Sending Unit to ground; had no effect on the gauge
- Grounding the Power Wire to the Sending Unit did NOT make the fuel gauge jump to FULL
Any other thoughts?
I cannot get a reading at the gauge that worked perfectly 8-10 years ago
Thanks!
