Has gauge won’t return to E unless I ground out the sending wire at tank
I’ve tested for ground at tank and sending unit all good I test new sending unit out of tank and it runs through 0 ohm to 32 ohms installed it’s reading 9.9 ohms which is about 1/3 of tank or about 6 gal. of gas which is correct and the gauge pegs between 1/4 and 1/2 but closer to half which I think is correct with key off or on
Parts installed came from classic parts
Fuel gauge 55-59 Chevy truck part # 24-721
Sending unit part # 23-525
I know some gauges didn’t go to E with key off but don’t know about this one, new out of box it pegged between 1/2 and 3/4 and didn’t move if tilted anyway
I’m missing something but don’t know what please advise | | |
