Re: Fuel gauge reads empty on full tank

Ive heard that before about it being all 1 assembly to get a new fuel level sensor.

The fact that it works now and then makes me think the float is fine, if it was sunk it would stay sunk. It could be a loose wire to the sender or it not making contact anymore.

I wanna say I saw somebody adapt a terminator sending unit but I might be on dope.

When I did my return system I grounded the sender to the wrong spot and got nothing. I cant remember if I had to ohm it or what but as you slide the sender up and down you see either the voltage or the ohms change on a sliding scale.
