1. When gauge reads full at all times, go on to Step 4. When gauge reads empty with a full tank, disconnect gauge sending unit connector, then install
suitable ohmmeter between chassis ground and connector terminal No. 1. If more than 3 ohms is indicated, repair open in black wire between
ground and sending unit. If less than 3 ohms is indicated, proceed to Step 2.
2. Connect suitable fused jumper between fuel gauge sending unit connector terminal No. 2 and chassis ground. If gauge reads full, replace sending
unit; if gauge indicates empty, proceed to Step 3.
3. Disconnect instrument panel cluster electrical C2 connector, then measure resistance between C2 connector terminal No. 7, Fig. 16, and chassis
ground. If more than 3 ohms is indicated, repair open in yellow/red wire; if less is indicated, inspect cluster printed circuit. If circuit is satisfactory,
replace fuel gauge.
4. Disconnect fuel gauge sending unit electrical connector, if gauge reads empty, replace sending unit, if gauge reads full, proceed to step 5.
5. Measure resistance between C2 connector terminal No. 7 and chassis ground, if resistance is infinite, inspect instrument panel cluster panel circuit
for cracks and poor connections. If satisfactory, replace fuel gauge. If resistance is not infinite, repair short to ground in yellow/red wire.
