Sorry for the silly question, but I am just learning the finer points of vehicle electrical. How do I ground the sender wire to test it?

tlcat, did you find a resolution? I am suffering the same problem and trying to narrow the problem down.

Russel J,
Perfect! Thank you! As you can see 8 am relatively new to this forum. I have not had the time to check out all of the nooks n crannies for great info. I have been mainly checking for info on problems I have had via search and researching in the other areas as time permits. This one, however, is a gem. Answers all my questions on the gauge issue and using my meters. Thanks again!
