With a new fuel sender, the fuel gauge only goes to about 3/4 to 7/8 full when I articulate the float full up. The gauge follows properly when moving the float arm part way. When I set it at full down, the gauge indicates past empty.
I measured the unit resistance with two DMM's, and the resistance stays around 28 ohms float arm full up to almost full down. Full down it is open, or infinite ohms.
I am confused why the resistance doesn't change, but the gauge indicates with the float position, except not going to the full mark.
Am I missing something on the sender resistance?
I sent the vendor an email asking what a new sender resistance is.
Adding a 200 ohm resister in parallel with the sender, allows the gauge to indicate almost full, does not affect the empty indication much at all.
