Default Replaced sending units….now….

Replaced ds fuel pump (Bosch). Replaced ps sending unit. (Ac Delco). Gauge is working in reverse. (As I read, this is due to a change they made). Instead of dropping the tanks again for the 7th time, could I pop the fender wells out and just swap the pins on the wires? Would that reverse the readings?

It should in theory work, I would try it instead of dropping the tanks again.

well, I’ve got a couple of spare senders. I’m going to test this theory when I get home from the fire station tomorrow.

the resistor boards the fuel level senders contact got changed as to reading high to low or low to high. I don't recall which was the latest, but on my 04 c5 I had the same issue. I had to swap to my original sender boards.

After i think 2007 the swap was made to read a lower amount rather than artifically full upon sensor failure. You can try to find someone to invert the tables with a computer
