OK I will not post another question about the fuel gauge issue I am having if I can get someone to comment on the following...I promise!
This is the second new gauge (Equus GM type)
I have installed the correct Equus sending unit in the tank
I have checked out all of the positive as well as the negative wire runs even the sending unit wire.
With all of this I still have the problem of the gauge pegging out past full when the switch is turned on.
Now here is the new input. Yesterday I took the gauge out and took it to the battery where I hooked up the postive to positive and negative to negative and still the gauge pegs out past full. And this is with sending unit disconnected.
SOOO Go figure huh?
Maybe I will have to revert to the old "dip stick" process of knowing how much fuel is in the tank.
Is it possible that I need a resistor of some type between the ignition switch and the positive blade on the gauge?
Thanks in advance
