Greetings all. Long time since I've posted, my car has, up till
yesterday, been behaving itself nicely. Yesterday the driver's door glass
dropped off of the window regulator as I was trying to wind up the window
prior to backing out of the garage. Then later the same day the fuel gauge
suddenly displayed well past a full tank. The tank is at about 1/3 to 1/2
full.
The water temp gauge is reading correctly so I am thinking the bimetal
voltage stabilizer is OK. I checked the connections at both the tank and
gage. I checked that the ground lead at the tank was grounded. I am
measuring about 67ohm across the sending unit terminals. The Bently
manual is worthless on this subject - simply stating that there is no
repair to either gage or sending unit and replacement is the repair
method. No resistance values given for empty and full tank. Frustrating.
Before I order a fuel tank sending unit, does anyone know what the ballpark
resistance values might be? What am I forgetting to check?
TIA. Off in digest mode awaiting your answers.
