Re: [Chevelle-list] fuel gauge test

Never do resistance readings with current flowing through the 
wire.  Resistance is measured with the key off, voltage with key on.

If you put an ohm meter between  the lead from the gauge to the 
sending unit you should get a reading between 0 and 90 OHM with the 
ignition on. 0 would be an empty tank 90 a full tank .  Using a 
floor jack lower and raise the back of the car. If you get different 
readings the sending unit is good. If this fails check the ground to 
your instrument cluster. There should be 12 volts to the other side 
of the gauge.
