[Chevelle-list] fuel guage test
Hey guys was just wondering if there is a electrial test to tell if a fuel guage was faulty or if it is the sending unit. It worked fine last fall and just got the car out and its no working. I cleaned the ground wire and metal on the body it attaches to and still dont work?? Thanks in advance?? Finally spring is here in Mich sure was a LONG winter??? thanks?? Steve

I had that problem with my car ounce. If you undo the connector in the trunk or just behind the bumper and attach it to ground you should see gas gauge move if it is working. They supply the gas gauge with + and the wire going to the tank is -. It is variable resistor the more fuel you have the more your gas gauge reads (better ground from the tank).

Also you can do the same under the dash at the guage. Just make sure you DON'T ground the 12v positive or you will damage the guage.
