my fuel guage is stuck above full all the time and its finally gotten to the point where i need to fix it......
ive installed a new ford sending unit and still, it reads full...
ive moved the guage needle to empty and then turned the key on and it rises back to full...
does this mean that one of my sending unit wires is grounding out somewhere?? the haynes manual says to remove the tank connector and ground out the wire that has no battery voltage, and the needle shoudl drop to empty. but ive done this and there are three terminals with no voltage then some read 12 volts and some read 5-7 on the 8 pin connector on the tank.
how do i go about locating this problem and which wires should i test with my multimeter?
the truck is a 99 3.0 flex fuel regular cab if that helps
