I started tonight by trying to figure out why my fuel gauge only went to half full at best... Decided to finally swap in my good, used sender and see what happened. It went from reading a 1/4 tank to a half tank. It's a start right?
So I grounded the green wire (at the gauge) and the gauge read full. Good I thought to myself... So I thought I might have a bad ground somewhere. I jumpered the gauges ground wire to a new ground and no difference was made.
Then I decided to clean the big ground cluster under the fuse panel, mostly for the hell of it. Found it loose and a bit corroded. Cleaned it up and tightened it. No difference in anything...
I then removed the ground and started turning things on. I was certain I would find something that didn't work, but I didn't...
Figured tomorrow I'd go through the pain of getting to the sender (fuel) again and grounding the green wire out there to see if the gauge reads full, but what on earth does that big bundle of grounds actually do under the fuse panel?
