I unplugged the connection going into the printed curcuit. I checked each terminal with a volt meter and all had voltage except for # 11 which is the terminal for the fuel guage. The temp guage did not move from its pegged position. Iam stumped as to why there is no voltage at # 11 and Iam thinking that my temp guage my be no good. Whats your opinions.
