Fuel Gauge

  1. Disconnect connector from fuel sender gauge. Connect positive lead from voltmeter to terminal 1 and connect negative lead from voltmeter to body ground.
  2. Turn ignition switch or starter switch to "ON" position. Check that meter needle vibrates near 4.5V position. If voltage is not correct, remove and test receiver gauge.
  3. To test receiver gauge, use an ohmmeter and measure resistance between terminals IG and FU. Resistance should be about 55 ohms. If not, replace receiver gauge.
