Blas,

Yes, the wires where off the fuel gauge for the resistance test.

Clarification: The 9.8 volt reading is across the wires to the back of the fuel gauge with the fuel gauge disconnected.

The reading is not zero ohms through the fuel gauge. Explanation about this ohm meter: When I touch the ohm meter probes together, the meter reads 0.00 ohms. The meter reads 0.L when the probes are not touching anything. When I place the meter probes across the posts on the back of the fuel gauge, the ohm meter reading is 0.L, as if the circuit inside the fuel gauge is a completely OPEN circuit. Therefore, there is no conductivity through the fuel gauge. At least that's what I believe the reading indicates. You indicated 0 ohms resistance through the fuel gauge means the fuel gauge is a paper weight. I'm guessing if there is no conductivity whatsoever through the fuel gauge, it's time for a new fuel gauge. I'll check my e-mail.
