Fuel Gauge

NOTE: After changing checker resistance value, allow 1 minute for needle to stabilize.
  1. Disconnect fuel gauge sending unit connector. Turn ignition on and wait 4 minutes. Verify fuel gauge needle indicates empty. Ground Yellow wire terminal of fuel gauge sending unit connector (instrument cluster side of harness connector). Wait 4 minutes. Verify fuel gauge needle indicates full. If fuel gauge needle does not operate as specified, go to next step.
  2. Remove instrument cluster. Loosen screws for terminals "B", "C" and "D" on rear of instrument cluster. SeeFig 1 . DO NOT  loosen screws too much or resistance cannot be measured properly. Using ohmmeter, measure resistance between fuel gauge terminals on rear of instrument cluster as specified. If resistance is not as specified, replace fuel gauge.
