The gauge calibration could be off also, I had that happen with an oil pressure gauge. It would not move off L until I got it loosened up and adjusted the little tabs inside. It passed the ground test but would not respond to the sender.

See info on the early temperature sender starting at post 698 (pg 35) of this thread. When you said the resistance fluctuates rapidly, it got me thinking. This is not a simple resistance element, it has a regulator in it similar to the oil pressure sender and early fuel level sender.

@Engineer8000 perfect! Lol it was in this very same thread that I’d read the info you pointed out above that I couldn’t remember where I’d read it 
. Sheez, too much “congestion” in the brain these days. Thanks for pointing to the great info @45inCO provided. @GregoryB there’s some of your answers.

@BOBC25060 I can repair it if you dont want to mess with. I have been fixing these for a while here on mud. Shoot me a pm if you want to go this route.
If you want to troubleshoot, You could have a few things wrong and a picture of the back would probably narrow down what is wrong.

Hi Rudy, I might have to rethink this solid state voltage regulator ida, we have the temperature transmitters fail repeatedly. Might be too much constant current destroying the sender, I might try a solid state flasher set at 50% duty cycle.

Have you posted in the Wanted classifieds here on MUD?
I have a few. They all need to be cleaned up and tested. But they should be good here is one.

I have been refurbishing/restoring clusters for a while. Here is more or less what you would get. The price has gone up a bit and international shipping will be more but pm me if you are interested

Absolute marvel piece this thread is! i have been trying to restore my old 1970 fj45 cluster back to working order after the previous owner put aftermarket ones in. Does anyone have photos from the back? my fuel gauge has three bolts but the top on looks like he has drilled a hole for it in the rear of the cluster so i can't work out if it is the original gauge to match with the sender unit?The 2nd generation from March ’69 till Sept. ‘72
The OIL and CHARGE lights are replaced by gauges

Here is the back of a 70 cluster. My guess is someone put a later model fuel gauge into the cluster. The later model fuel gauges had 3 posts. Let me know if you need the correct gauge for your cluster. I am sure I have a few in my stash.
Yeah thats the exact photo i have been looking for! I was pretty sure mine was tampered with! I have 2 gauges now for mid 70's which are wrong for mine so if your willing to sell one i'd be grateful as i can't find any for a 70 anywhere
I will check my stash and pm you
