Unplug the connection on the tank. I think it will be a brown or tan
wire with a rubber boot over the connection.<br>
<br>
Does the gauge still read half full, or does it go to full or empty?<br>
<br>
Connect the terminal on the end of the brown wire to ground with
another wire. Does the gauge now read opposite of the above test
(terminal connected to nothing)?<br>
<br>
Measure the resistance of the tank unit by attaching one lead of the
ohmmeter to the terminal (stud) and the other lead to ground on the
car. Read the resistance. Shake the car and see if the resistance
changes with the fuel sloshing. If no change, the tank is empty or
the sender is bad.<br>

<div>I would like to work on my '62 gas guage. It gives an
improper reading. When it is off, it reads full. When on it
reads half full. With that in mind I would like some
suggestions as to what to have on hand to help fix it so
that I can get it before the meeting. Any suggestions would
be welcome.<br>
</div>
Thanks <br>
