Thanks for the reply.
I have used two senders, one that was in the truck and a brand new one. Both act the same.
Same with the gauge, one old, one brand new.
S is the wire from the "S" labeled (signal) post on the gauge. Both are alike.
Mix or match, all old, all new, always the same, gauge goes to E when powered, even on the bench?
This is driving me crazy!!!!
