For years the wire has been off the inop fuel sender in my truck, and now and then the wire would touch ground and the guage would show full, flutter around and then go back down when the wire broke contact..
I went to install the new unit and the guage now goes from under empty to the empty line and stays there solidly when grounded.
When I lightly brush the contact against a ground it goes all the way over smoothly and then comes back down smoothly.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Mike | | |

One of the armature wires had broken, so I disassembled the guage, unwound the wire enough to reach the solder plate and resoldered it.
All works as it should.
Thanks for the input.

The only *trick* to the fix is remembering that these are enameled wires that MUST be scraped clean in order to take solder.
IF YOU DIDN'T TEST IT, IT DOESN'T WORK
