Gentlemen:
I know this question has been addressed repeatedly, but I'll ask again:
The fuel gauge in my BE reads either full or empty. Also, the gauge will only activate when I tap it. I have used two different fuel gauges and I have replaced the sender. There is a ground at the gauge and let me explain why:
- I hooked up the gauge and without the ground I turned on the electricity. The gauge did not read, even when tapped, but I could feel a small jolt of electricity around the gauge as I held it in place. After I turned off the juice, I hooked up the bracket, attached the ground, turned the juice on again, tapped the gauge, and it read full.
The last thing I can think of doing is hooking up another ground wire at the fuel tank to ensure a ground there.
Otherwise, I'm stumped.
