Feeling pretty stupid today (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
I dont recall ever having this problem before just bought parts assembled & worked. But Im doing another, encountered the "key on" gauge pegs situation that Ive now checked with 3 gauges, 2 senders, direct wiring, check & re-check continuity & grounds (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Is this failure mode supposed to be TOO MUCH resistance or the LACK OF resistance (open)? |

I deleted some bad info I posted. I just read that if it pegs with key on and engine off the wire to sender is open. I wonder if you put a ground directly to the gauge and it doesn't peg that verifies an open wire since you had already replaced the sender. |
