How to check fuel sending unit ohms. Turn on the ohmmeter and slide the sending units float arm from the lowest to the highest position as you check your meter reading. When testing a used sender it would normally be installed in the fuel tank. If the gauge still reads full touch a grounded test wire to the sending unit terminal on the back of the dash gauge.
This is a. Connect the multimeter to the sending unit when the sender disconnects from the tank. If there is no resistance as close to zero ohms as possible the circuit is good and the sender is faulty.
Make sure that one end of the lead is at the housing while the other is at the stud. To measure the resistance. The first thing youll.
To check the voltage regulator for proper function use a tester. With the sender removed from the tank connect an ohm. Set the multimeter to ohms.
Disconnect the plug at the sender. Testing a marine fuel sender full arm horizontal 33 ohms. Testing remove the wire from the contact stud on the sending unit and ground it to the chassis.
A to ground 49 51 ohms the fuel sending unit wires are located on top of the gas tank where they are hard to get to without dropping the tank. The fuel sending unit should have a pink wire with voltage on the isolated center post. Probe the connector with the tester it should flash on and off.
The other black wire on the sending unit with a tab style connector is a ground to the frame. If the gauge now reads empty. The power supply to the gauge has been interrupted check fuses the gauge is defective or the wire from the gauge to the sending unit is open or has a break in it.
The resistance reading on the meter should go down smoothly as the float travels up to its highest point. While manually moving the pointer anticlockwise check the resistance of the gauge. In this image the float arm is horizontal to the mounting flange which means the tank.
Set your multimeter to the ohms scale and check the resistance within the wire. I hope this was helpful.
