OK, so I’ve scoured previous post about this topic and I’m now at this point.
-cleaning up some previous owner work - VDO fuel gauge part number V301030. Rated 0 to 90 ohms. - New stock sending unit putting out 36 ohms now as gas tank about 1/2 full. - all wires continuity tested and I’m sure i all hooked up correctly. Yes-grounds all checked. Problem- gauge reads full. -assumption the pin configuration on the sending unit plug is correct- see pic Fix? - install VDO gauge v301020. Range 10-73 ohms - Will this gauge work close enough with the stock sender? Or…. Do I need to replace the stock sending unit to match the gauge ohm range exactly? Thanks for the help   |
