Many of the gauges on my Wellcraft had been replaced with Faria instruments and I finished off things by replacing the rest, including the fuel gauge. However, when I switch on the ignition the gauge jumps to full, despite the tank being empty.
This happens even with the sender at the tank totally disconnected. I tried every possible combination of connections at the gauge, with the same result, including blowing the ignition fuse on one occasion.
When I removed the sender, still wired up, it sent the gauge through its full movement when it was moved by hand. So any thoughts much appreciated. I figure the sender is good but there may be an issue with the wiring behind the dash. I have a multi meter and am familiar with tracing wires etc. Thanks.
