Hi there.
Problem: My fuel gauge never shows more 1/4 full, even when "filled up".
But when the tank is really less then 1/4, the gauge starts working and shows almost accurate on it way to empty.
Now I've tested the gauge (Jaeger FG2530/20) by disconnecting connector T, and it passed the test described i "service manual".
Today I looked at the sender(FT3331/02), measuring ohm. the tank is well over 1/2, and I have a reading of 57 ohm. When pushing the float a little down, the reading changes accordingly, 45-50 ohms. My conclusion is that it works. Also disconnected the connector to the gauge(on the sender), and the gauge shows "full".
Connection ok, as far as I understand.
I've put on a new earth cable on the gauge, and checked the earth on the sender also. Seems ok.
I was quite sure the fault was at the sender end, so the instrument panel is all assembled, and I hate to take it out again and find nothing..
Question: I started to think (that is always dangerous), but is it possible that the two connectors on the gauge are swapped? will that create something like this?
Looking forward to suggestions
