Checked grounds, unplugged wire to sender unit and the wire is getting very dim power to the sending unit. The funny thing is that the fuel gauge is reading max over fuel it is all teh way to the right screw in the gauge. I wonder if the actual gauge is bad. I have a spare 92xj cluster, but i wanted to ask for ur guys help before i swap out the fuel gauge. Any one have an idea on my next move?

Dim voltage?

My 93 FSM gives the following for the sensor. If it's pegged full, then the wire is most likely shorted to ground or the gauage is bad. It should read empty with the sensor unplugged and full with the sensor shorted.

Empty ................................................ 105 ohms
1/2 Full .............................................. 33 ohms
Full ................................................... 5 ohms
