Gas Gauge
How can I check my fuel sender at the tank. I did the ohm meter reading at the sender terminal & ground. I get nothing. I have 2 senders, a new one in the tank & one on the bench & get no reading on either one. Am i doing something wrong or are they both junk ?

If you pull the gauge out of the car and find the resistor is defective, you can purchase a 1 watt, 90 ohm resistor online or from Radio Shack. You'll have to solder some loops on the end of it, but it will work just fine. I'm sorry, I do not have any extras to send you.

Similar topic for Wilcox - pulled my tank & sender. Everything was OK before, but this is a 30 yo sender. Would it be best to replace it now? BTW 79
