Instrument Panel Fuel Gauge Resistance Test
NOTE:
The following test must be completed with instrument panel cluster removed. See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Measurements are all made with an ohmmeter. If resistance is extremely low, there may be a short in the coil. If resistance is extremely high, there may be a broken wire or similar problem in the gauge.
Measure resistance between terminals. See FUEL GAUGE RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONS table. If resistance readings do not conform to specifications, replace fuel gauge.
