Anybody know how to test a feul gauge? I am not getting a reading on it and I want to determine if it's the gauge or the sender.

Chances are very good it's the sender.
Pictures of removal. Carefully clean the two out-most wires and any corrosion on the float. http://www.icbm.org/cmgallery/thumbnails.php?album=58 |

SO do I apply 12v to the power terminal and put the ground and sender contact on the gauge together? |
