Does the wire from the Ign on switch go to the Empty side of the fuel gauge or the full side?
Thanks Phxamigo

Without a wiring diagram I'd hook it that way with enough extra wire to reach the other side of the guage if necessary, turn the switch on & see what happens. Make sure you have a good ground to the tank.

Tthe second page of the install instructions is a step by step guide on how to determine if the sender is bad or the dash gauge or the wiring. Print that off and you will know for sure who the bad guy is....Randy | | |

Apparently it is not a resistor becuase it is polarity sensitive. That is a nice site too. It is nice to see someone selling parts that they developed themselves. | | |
