Test
Testing Fuel Gauges: 1. Disconnect Pink Sender Wire from Gauge, and turn power ON. The Fuel Gauge should read ZERO Scale (< Empty) 2. Short the Gauge Sender Terminal to Ground. The Gauge should read FULL Scale (> Full). 3. Measure resistance of Pink Sender Wire to Ground. American Floats: 240 Ohms (Empty), 103 Ohms (½ Full), & 33 Ohms (Full) European Floats: 10 Ohms (Empty), 95 Ohms (Half), & 180 Ohms (Full) Automotive & other Float Switches may use other resistances such as 0 - 90 Ohm, 73 - 10 Ohm, & etc. 4. Disconnect Pink Wire from Sender on Fuel Tank. 5. Test continuity of Pink Wire. Zero Ohms from Tank End to Gauge End - If not, repair or replace Wire. 6. Measure Resistance from Sender Terminal (on Tank) to Ground on Tank. Should read as per (3) above - If not, replace Sender.
