Trim gauge is not working at all. Im going to start by assuming the sender. Is my memory correct and the resistance on this model should be 84 for up, and 5 for down?
After that, to test the gauge, when powering the gauge with a positive wire to the "I" terminal and a ground wire to "G", the pointer should read full up, and when the power is still connected, and I short the sender terminal to ground the pointer should read full down correct?
Short of these two things, I guess I will have to troubleshoot a trouble in the wiring, as I am having strange electrical problems which may be related. If you are interested in these, check out the "Electrical" forum.
Tks to each and all in advance.
