Hoping for some electrical troubleshooting help here
Bottom line up front: Is it common for a fuel gauge to go bad in the instrument cluster?
Got no reading on my fuel gauge needle is straight down at the six oclock position. So of course I bought a new sender (before testing the old one). Come to find out the old fuel sender is fine. Reads from 34 ohms (full/up position) to infinity (down/empty position). Got 26.2V at the back of the fuel gauge behind the instrument cluster. Checked ground to the back of the fuel gauge behind the instrument cluster and got about 5 ohms. Also checked the sender lead and its good. Everything else on the cluster works fine.
Whats left? Can I repair just the fuel gage inside the cluster? Or is there something else I should be testing?
