See my web site for the type gauge- yours should be voltmeter-type rather than newer thermal. Test by grounding the wire to the sender. Also check that there actually is voltage going *to* the gauge. You can also measure resistance of the sender to ground to see if it is good. Speedy Jim http://www.nls.net/mp/volks/ |
