First let me ask a question...
A Bugeye sender is just a resistor, right? So the fuel gauge is just an ohm-meter, passing its current to the chassis through the wiring in the sender unit.
If I connect an actual ohm-meter between the single terminal and the case of the sender unit, I'd expect to see the needle move as I slide the float backwards and forwards. Since I see a dead short all the time, either my ohm-meter is bad, or the sender unit is dead.
Can they be rewired, or is it not worth it? Moss quotes $49.95 to replace it, which doesn't sound unreasonable but if possible I'd prefer to restore.
Opinions?
