Greets.., not much result for me in the 'search' box. So, my Fuel Gauge Needle wandered today. From the half tank reading, the needle began to flip back and forth a few degrees, then the needle wandered to about the 4 O'clock position, then back to 12 O'clock position.., back, and forth a couple of times, as well as to the 11 O'clock position. After a few minutes of that, it settled down to it's normal position indicating a half tank of fuel.
My question involves what is the identifiable problem to trouble-shoot. The gauge? The fuel tank float? Could it be that there is a ground issue causing this problem, or what? Seems I recall the fuel level at the gauge is to be read as; E=0 ohms, 1/2=44 ohms, F=88 ohms. Just where to probe, I am unclear.., cluster in, or out? Probe the sending lead from the tank?
Could it be a mechanical issue? I wouldn't think so, but this issue must have been addressed before, and sure would like to have some guidance in order to pin-point the malfunction for proper correction.:worship:
Thanks.
