This def saved me a trip to the shop. I literally opened the sensor stretched the gauge and put it back on. Voila, it’s working again. Thank you sir!

Glad to help!

Thank you, wish you would have shown how you "stretched the spring" to repair the sensor for our reference.

@GearsAndTech 2 года назад

Yeah, I was in the middle of the repair and just got caught up in what I was doing.

Take the wires off the sending unit and put them together if Gauge goes up, wires are fine. It will be the sending unit

@GearsAndTech 11 месяцев назад

Pretty much yes

The vast number of problems I found with fuel gauges is poor connections. Given the 33-190 ohm range of most senders, this makes it difficult to trace as a high resistance connection will read a higher resistance than normal, possibly indicating a false empty or even half tank when it is actually full. Shorting your sender wire may even still give you a full reading as the gauge only needs 33 ohms for full. You need to determine if the high resistance is on the sender wire or the sender ground at the tank. Using a long jumper wire from the gauge helps to determine which it is. Then tracing the offending wire from each connection point to find the bad connection or just run a new wire as it’s sometimes easier than tracing every connector and splice. A high resistance open can be invisible to the eye and can even be in the middle of the wire hidden in the boat somewhere.

for sure there are a few ways to diagnose and test an issue. What I show is one way, but is not the only way.

@frankdavidson9675 Год назад

when ordering a reed swith sender measure the depth of tank mins 1/2 inch the read 33ohms full 240 ohms empty you test before installing set meter on low ohms conn meter to the push on conn on top of sender move float up and meter should read 240 empty 33 full gasket coms with it install it run 2 leads to gauge on dash = and - conn batt from switch to batt on gauge

Thanks for providing the info

@HRIINSURANCE Год назад

I did not know the ground to sender wire trick

@GearsAndTech Год назад

Yeah, it should help a lot with the troubleshooting

@toddbollen1455 Месяц назад

I have opposite problem My all ways says full

@GearsAndTech Месяц назад

You have a short somewhere between the 2 wires.

@toddbollen1455 Месяц назад

@@GearsAndTech I was thinking float maybe stuck ? But never really worked right since bought boat .I bought new. It would say full than all Sunden drop down. less than half Now always says full. I pull float out this week end look at it..Take from there..Not afraid to try after watching your video

@BA-gn3qb 20 дней назад

You have a lot of "firsts" in this video. "Check this first." "First you do this." Etc. Etc. Etc.

@GearsAndTech 20 дней назад

Yeah, check all those first

Hi..I took my gauge out of the tank...the float works by moving it by hand ..but when I put it in the tank it doesn't read on fuel gauge and when I put it back in the tank ..looks like the float doesn't raise up.any comments

@GearsAndTech Год назад

That's really weird Are you able to rotate it 90 degrees in the tank? Possibly it was installed wrong and is hitting the edge of the tank the way it is. Only other option is you're out of gas

@markmorgan5031 Год назад

@GearsandTech I took float out and there's about 3 inches in there
