I am slowly working myself through a few post-assembly issues, and am now at the fuel gauge, which doesn't work.

Reg said some fuel gauge connectors were simply not connected near the tank, or that the ground wires were missing. I got under and found my in-line connectors were indeed connected, and with approximately 10 gallons in the tank (+/- 2gal) the resistance between the two spades in the connectors is about 50 ohms. This tells me the sending unit is probably working (though I don't have an "Ohms vs. Tank-Reading Chart" to check the accuracy).

Anything other than checking to see that the wires are actually connected to the gauge? Reg said that's the #2 reason for my gauge showing dead empty (and not moving when the ignition is turned on).

Since there are TWO wires going to the tank, and there is resistance between the two, I assume that the black wire in the tank electrical connector is ground, and unlike the BDR wiring diagram, the fuel gauge gets its ground through THAT wire, rather than a common ground wire?

I understand the VDO gauges are VERY reliable, so that should probably be the LAST thing I suspect?

Thanks,
Bob
